Full Description

Magnometer survey identified a set of enclosures of probable prehistoric form that cover the northern part of the site, in addition to other anomalies that may be indicative of past activity (S1).
Following geophysical survey, fieldwalking and metal-detection surveys were carried out on land between Main Road and Felixstowe Road. The surveys produced mainly post-medieval finds, but also one sherd of Roman pottery, seven pieces of Roman CBM, one piece of medieval CBM and a copper alloy bolt of possible medieval date. These showed no clear concentrations across the site. The only potential finds cluster was represented by Middle Bronze Age flint tools and possibly associated burnt flints, accumulated along the eastern edge of the field (S2).
