Site Event/Activity record ESF20176 - 61 Whiting Street, Bury St Edmunds

An archaeological monitoring was carried out on land at 61 Whiting Street, Bury St Edmunds in advance of the construction of a conservatory. Continuous monitoring was carried out for the excavation of the cut for the foundation slab. A series of archaeological layers and features were encountered during the site stripping for the concrete base. Late post-medieval and modern intrusions associated with the property had caused significant disturbance within the yard area. Few datable artefacts were recovered from the deposits, and no feature was entirely contained within the development area. No environmental samples were taken (S1).
