Full Description
2011: As part of the refurbishment of the Great White Horse Hotel, three small foundation pits were dug and these were monitored archaeologically. The foundation pits revealed mixed deposits of probable 17th-century date as attested by the clay tobacco pipe assemblage recovered. The original version of the hotel (the 'Tavern' of Tavern Street) dated to the early 16th century, so these deposits probable represent make-up layers or dumping behind the original tavern. The site is within the Anglo-Saxon and medieval core of Ipswich but deposits and finds of these periods were not detected. As none of the pits were over 1m in depth it is probable that the earlier deposits were deeper still (S1-S3).
