Site Event/Activity record ESF23528 - Watching Brief - Site investigations for the Cavenham-Icklingham Water Level Management Plan

An intermittent archaeological watching brief was carried out on land along a 2km stretch of the River Lark within Cavenham, Icklingham and Tuddenham parishes. The archaeological monitoring was carried out during the excavation of exploratory holes by a geotechnics team from A F Howland's Associates. No archaeological features or artefacts were uncovered within the geological test holes, although on higher ground adjacent to the south of TP 5, near to the south bank of the River Lark, artefacts were found in the backfill of rabbit burrows. A possible palaeochannel was found in one of the geotechnical exploratory pits (S1).
