Full Description

Evaluation trenching identified one large and one small ditch of later 1st to mid 2nd century date plus an undated small ditch. Subsequent monitoring of ground works recorded a short length of another small ditch which proved to be of probable middle Saxon date. However in general the soil strip for the hard-standing for the silo was too shallow to reveal any other archaeological features though one rim sherd of Ipswich ware was recovered as a stray find while a stray sherd of later Saxon Thetford type ware was recovered during the initial trenching works (S1).
