Full Description

Monitoring of ground works for a side extension revealed evidence for a major later medieval masonry building with two substantial flint and mortar walls forming the corner of what can be interpreted as a cellar. Fortunately these walls were left in situ below the recently formed foundations. Further ground works on the site for a small rear extension and terrace retaining walls revealed little apart from evidence for later Post medieval landscaping (S1).

Included in the Proceedings of the Suffolk Institute of Archaeology and History annual round up of individual finds and discoveries for 2011 (S2).
