Description
Post Excavation assessment of fieldwork was carried out on part of the route of the B1113 Stowmarket to Great Blakenham underground cabling focusing on two sites of archaeological interest, which were identified. Both were on relatively high ground in the vicinity of the Saxon Park and Brick Kiln Caravan Parks, Barrett's Lane, Barking. At Site 1, part of a prehistoric or Roman field system was represented by four shallow, parallel ditches spaced about 4-5m apart. The prehistoric/Roman ditches were overlaid by a rectilinear ditch system and associated pitting with two clear phases of use dating to the 13th-14th century. Site 2, located approximately 200m southeast of Site 1, contained only an undated pit.
