Site Event/Activity record ESF19873 - Evaluation, Whitegate Farm, Creeting St Mary

An archaeological evaluation was carried out on land at Whitegate farm, Creeting St Mary, in preparation for two structures and a lagoon for waste water. The areas of the two structures contained no archaeology. The final area, designated for the lagoon, contained two boundary ditches, and a large pond-like feature that is possibly part of a moated site. Very little finds evidence was recovered from the features. Finds that were recovered were mostly undatable, except for three pieces of fired clay from one of the boundary ditches. These are thought to be medieval.
