Description

PROJECT DETAILS In July 2013 Archaeological Solutions Ltd (AS) carried out an archaeological evaluation at 80 London Road, Brandon, Suffolk (NGR TL 7810 8633). The evaluation was undertaken in compliance with a planning condition attached to an anticipated planning approval for the proposed erection of a dwelling and two garages on land at 80 London Road, Brandon, Suffolk (NGR TL 780 863). The evaluation is required by Forest Heath District Council, based on advice from SCC AS-CT (Planning Approval Ref. F/2013/0223/FUL). No features recorded during the evaluation were prehistoric but a horseshoe flint scraper of possible late Neolithic/early Bronze Age date was recovered from Subsoil L1001. The evaluation recorded medieval features, predominantly ditches and also a depression. The undated features comprised a possible quarry pit, a pit and a posthole. The dating evidence is tentative, just 1-2 sherds from the features in Trench 1 (F1017, F1019 and F1021) but 4-6 sherds from the features (F1003 and F1005) in Trench 2. Though small in number the dating evidence is consistently medieval and the sherds are light - moderately abraded.
