Site Event/Activity record ESF19821 - Monitoring, Former Snells garage, Ballingdon Hill Sudbury

The building of 13 houses on the former site of Snells Garage on Ballingdon Hill was subject to monitoring during the excavation of footings. The conditions were set out in a Brief and Specification by Robert Carr (Suffolk County Council Archaeological Service, Conservation Team) to fulfil a planning condition on application B/06/01678/FUL. The work was funded by Gipping Homes. This site was the subject of an evaluation (SCCAS Report No. 2005/37) and earlier monitoring when fuel tanks at the front of the property were removed. The site is located on the hill leading south from Ballingdon on the former site of Snells Garage and attached land. Interest in the site is generated by historical records which suggest Ballingdon Chapel (dating from the 12th century) may have stood on this site. If this were the case there might be building remains and possible cemetery. The sites lies at c. 30.5m OD.
