Site Event/Activity record ESF22528 - Evaluation - 39 Raysford Road, Great Welnetham

An archaeological evaluation by trial trench was conducted by NPS Archaeology ahead of building works to erect a single-storey dwelling. The evaluation consisted of one 1.80m-wide trench. The intended 20m length of the trench could not be completed because of various live services in the stipulated location. The excavated c. 10.00m-long portion of the trench showed extensive modern disturbance from the excavation and recent backfilling of a pond, and disturbance by a disused cable trench. Excavation down to the natural geology revealed no archaeological remains in this heavily disturbed and developed area of housing.
