Description
Excavation of the area around a burnt brick structure revealed by a 2017 evaluation. An area measuring 1,885 square metres was positioned over trench T58 of the 2017 evaluation. It was stripped by mechanical excavator under archaeological supervision through topsoil (L1: c 300mm thick, and subsoil (L2: c 200mm thick) onto natural ground (L3). Natural here is officially described as Lowestoft Formation (sands and gravels). This slightly underplays the clayey nature of the ground here. Stripped ground level (i.e. site level) varied from 38.99m aOD to 40.16m aOD around the kiln.
