Site Event/Activity record ESF26413 - Evaluation - East Anglia Transport Museum, Carlton Colville

Evaluation of seventeen trenches measuring 30.00m x 1.80m located across the proposed development site. The archaeological background for the site suggested that there was a moderate potential for Iron Age remains, and for later medieval and post-medieval activity associated with the development of the village, while archaeology relating to all other remaining periods was considered low. Despite this potential the evaluation did not encounter any archaeological features. An agricultural subsoil was present across the site which contained fragments of late post-medieval/modern CBM, and relates to the previous agricultural use of the land. A number of modern land drains were also found across the site relating to drainage of the site when it was in use as an agricultural field.
