Description
Archaeological strip map and record excavation was undertaken at Land West of Ferry Road Felixstowe.The 4.6ha development site, which was formerly under arable cultivation, was evaluated by trial trenching in 2017. This identified a Prehistoric buried soil preserved in a natural hollow, in the south-east of the site. A range of Early Neolithic to Late Bronze Age artefacts were found residual in later features and in the topsoil. Four excavation areas, targeting the perceived focus of prehistoric activity in the southeast (Area C) and medieval and later roadside activity in the north (Areas A, B and D), totalling 1.03ha were investigated. Remains of Early Neolithic, Iron Age, Late Saxon/Medieval and Post-medieval date were recorded.
