Description

An archaeological evaluation was carried out on land at Crown Lane, Ixworth between 2nd and 3rd December 2009 in advance of redevelopment for housing. Twenty-one linear trenches were excavated across the area. No archaeological features were encountered. A small number of metal objects were recovered from the topsoil and subsoil during metal detecting of the spoil, mostly dating to the medieval period. A single sherd of Romano-British pottery was also recovered from the spoil. This evaluation followed field-walking and metal detecting across the site between the 30th September and 1st October 2009. A small number of finds were recovered scattered over the whole development area with no obvious concentrations.
