Full Description

The area excavated as FLN 063 covered an area of approximately 1.4 hectares immediately south of and adjoining FLN 061, to the north, and FLN 062 to the south. The recorded archaeology was limited to a few pits (Early Bronze age, Late Iron Age/Roman date) four ditches and one possible unurned cremation. Two of the ditches were undated and could be related to the Iron Age and Roman field system or the Early Saxon phase to the north-east. The fourth was associated with the pre-Flixton Hall road that followed the line of the extant field boundary separating the areas excavated as FLN 061 and FLN 063 (S1).

Included in the Proceedings of the Suffolk Institute of Archaeology and History annual round up of individual finds and discoveries for 2001 (S2).
