Description
PROJECT DETAILS
Following an archaeological evaluation by surface collection survey (fieldwalking) and trial trenching a further phase of archaeological mitigation and recording was undertaken on land off Copland Way (Ellough Airfield Industrial Estate), Worlingham, Suffolk. During the evaluation three small undated archaeological features and a boundary ditch of probable medieval date were found. The small pits all contained charcoal and burnt flint and were interpreted as possibly being of prehistoric date. This interpretation led to a radiocarbon 14 date being obtained from charcoal recovered from one of the pits (Appendix 5). This indicted that the pits were of late Bronze Age date. Two further areas were stripped of topsoil and archaeologically investigated. A further three small pits with charcoal-rich fills were found.
