Monument record WGN 038 - Late Neolithic/Early Bronze Age activity and undated features at Worlington Quarry, Worlington

2010: An archaeological monitoring was carried out at Worlington Quarry, Worlington during the removal of topsoil and identified a small Late Neolithic/Early Bronze Age flint-working hollow (S1). Included in the Proceedings of the Suffolk Institute of Archaeology and History annual round up of individual finds and discoveries for 2010 (S2).

2012: Monitoring of a second topsoil strip at Worlington Quarry, Worlington, in Suffolk, revealed evidence of an undated ditch and two undated pits/hearths. The pits/hearths are possibly extensions of the later prehistoric/Bronze Age activity seen in the general area. Two large spreads of material were also recorded. These were largely natural, although one was also derived from a pig wallow and high levels of modern disturbance. Excluding this the natural subsoil was largely undisturbed (S2, S4).

2010:An archaeological monitoring was carried out at Worlington Quarry, Worlington during the removal of topsoil a single shallow undated pit. No artefacts were recovered from the topsoil or feature (S3).

2011: Archaeological monitoring during this phase of topsoil stripping revealed evidence of two pits and one hearth, of probable later prehistoric date, which between them contained two struck flints, several heated flints and charcoal. Four large modern pits were also recovered and partially excavated and are believed to relate to farming or quarrying activities (S5).
