Description
In early May 2017 a total of six 1m2 archaeological test pits were excavated in both Rickinghall and Botesdale by 24 Year 9 and Year 12 students from Sybil Andrews Academy and the King Edward VI School and were dug as part of the Independent Learning Archaeology Field School (ILAFS) programme. A single test pit in Botesdale (RAB/17/6) produced Bronze Age pottery. Three of the test pits produced pottery of high medieval date (RAB/17/1, RAB/17/5 and RAB/17/6) (S1).
