Description

An archaeological evaluation, followed immediately by an excavation was carried out on land to the rear of West Row Primary School, West Row, Mildenhall and identified a series of ditches, two pits and a posthole all dating to the between the mid 2nd to late 3rd or 4th century. One of these ditches was also identified during an evaluation (and subsequent monitoring) immediately adjacent to the school itself (MNL 613). A large irregular hollow and a tree bowl, pre-dating the Roman ditches and a medieval ditch were also identified along with a small number of layers thought to relate to recent landscaping of the area.
