Site Event/Activity record ESF20963 - RAF Mildenhall, Evaluation and Monitoring of car park replacement scheme

An evaluation and monitoring was carried out during the relaying of the Central Car Park on RAF Mildenhall. The excavation revealed that there was a layer of disturbed soil below the tarmac, which overlaid natural chalk and a fine brown silt. Although the silt occurred naturally in pockets over the chalk there was some evidence that it survived in the base of post medieval linear features that are thought to be truncated drainage pits. No finds or features from the Roman and Iron Age settlement on Mildenhall was found.
