Site Event/Activity record ESF20226 - Monitoring - 1 Church Close, Hoxne

Archaeological watching brief monitoring was undertaken in May 2010 on the site of a new bungalow at 1 Church Close, Hoxne. This work followed trial trench evaluation of the site undertaken in January 2010 which revealed a series of intercutting and irregular ditches and the recovery of Romano-British pottery (Crawley 2010). During the watching brief additional sherds of Thetford ware pottery were recovered from within a layer of subsoil though no archaeological features were observed. Evidence from two environmental samples demonstrated that although cereals and seeds were present, their remains were most likely derived from a scatter of detritus (charred cereal processing and/or storage waste).
