Description

An archaeological watching brief was carried out on the installation of a new reinforcement water main across wetland areas between Halesworth Road, Reydon, and York Road, Southwold. A total of 7 Test Holes, 10 Pipe Connection Trenches and a Road Trench were monitored. Palaeoenvrionmental sampling was also required. The results of this sampling served to confirm the existence of a wetland environment beside the river over a long period of time but otherwise were inconclusive (S1).
