Description
An archaeological evaluation was carried out on land at Suffolk Constabulary Headquaters, Martlesham Heath in advance of a proposal to construct a new police investigation centre and new parking facilites. The two areas evaluated were an area of lawn in front of the main building and a tarmac parking area to the rear of the complex, with a single trench between garages and offices towards the middle of the site. The site had seen some development in the past, involving construction of car-parking and some light landscaping relating to the current usage. The evaluation found extensive services in the north-western area, and significant disturbance in the area under tarmac to the south-east. However, this disturbance appears to have not extended out from beneath the tarmac as undisturbed subsoil and natural deposits were observed around the edges of the tarmac.
