Description
Two test-pits were hand excavated within the churchyard of St. Mary-le-Tower, Ipswich, Suffolk, in advance of the creation of a proposed garden of remembrance. The main aim of the fieldwork was to check if any in-situ human burials existed within the top 0.7m of the footprint of the proposed garden. No such burials were encountered within either test-pit although a large amount of disarticulated bone along with post-medieval brick and tile and other debris was noted. A small amount of pottery was recovered, which has been dated to the Middle Anglo-Saxon period and the early medieval period.
