Site Event/Activity record ESF20601 - Evaluation - Three Ponds, Hoxne

An archaeological evaluation, carried out on land at Three Ponds, Hoxne, in advance of potential housing development, has identified evidence of early medieval and medieval occupation within an area partially enclosed by a series of existing ditches and ponds sited on the edge of a medieval green. Although the site appears to have been truncated a small assemblage of pottery and metalworking slag was collected from a ditch and possible pits.
