Site Event/Activity record ESF22302 - Archaeological Evaluation and Monitoring Report, Land at St James Street, Dunwich, Suffolk

Archaeological Evaluation and Monitoring was undertaken on, land between Tudor House and Sea View, St James Street Dunwich. Evaluation trenching for the second phase of a small residential development identified two pits of high medieval date and another of probable natural origin. The two pits were found some 20m west of the site of a medieval oven that was identified in the first phase of development at the site in 2011, and left preserved in situ, and all of these dateable features may have been created in a single phase of activity at the site in the 13th-14th century period. Another notable single find was an unstratified sherd of Ipswich ware of Middle Saxon date. As in 2011 the depth of overburden at the site was substantial and subsequent monitoring of ground works did not record any additional finds or features.
