Monument record BSE 271 - Post-medieval quarry site and Malting complex, Station Hill, Bury St Edmunds

A series of six trenches were excavated across the development site. The results showed the site had been extensively quarried for sand and gravel in the post-medieval period and then reinstated in the mid to late 19th century for use as a rail siding, warehouse and coal yard. A maltings was also constructed along the southern limit of the site at this time. Little archaeological evidence remained though structural evidence of a possible warehouse and/or the maltings was identified (S1).
