Monument record EXG 083 - Land Adjacent to Beech House, Exning.

The evaluation and subsequent 'strip and map' exercise undertaken (to the depth to be disturbed by the developer) on land adjacent to Beech House, Exning identified two possible enclosures and a small number of pits and postholes dating to the late Roman period (late 3rd to 4th century). Work also uncovered a discrete dump of Roman roof tiles (not fully excavated), which may suggest the presence of a building (or buildings) in the vicinity (S1).

Monitoring of soil stripping for a carpark exposed evidence of late Roman settlement. There was no early Roman activity on the site but a significant later occupation including building remains. Included in the Proceedings of the Suffolk Institute of Archaeology and History annual round up of individual finds and discoveries for 2007 (2).
