Full Description

2004 - 2005 excavation by John Fairclough and Mike Hardy - details to follow ( for Thornham Estate Research Group)

Excavation has continued close to the river crossing (as reported in ‘Archaeology in Suffolk 2004’). Work on the underlying deposits has revealed a significant amount of early samian ware, including some pieces that had been repaired and several with unusual makers’ stamps; also a quantity of Belgic type wares. The natural has still not been reached and efforts are being made to establish the precise course of the river in the Roman period, as there is much evidence of water action affecting the deposits. Included in the Proceedings of the Suffolk Institute of Archaeology and History annual round up of individual finds and discoveries for 2005 (S1)
