Description

An archaeological evaluation and monitoring programme took place at 16 Northgate Street, Bury St. Edmunds in September 2008 in advance of the construction of a basement level extension to the property. A single linear trench was excavated and the mechanical excavation of the basement footprint was monitored. Although the evaluation trench encountered no archaeological features the quantity of medieval and post-medieval artefacts retrieved from the subsoil indicated activity within the vicinity. The subsequent monitoring recovered evidence for a large late Saxon domestic refuse pit containing a residual prehistoric flint tool, and a small modern (19th or 20th century AD) ash pit.
