Full Description

Monitoring was carried out on a pipe trench that passed through areas of known Roman and prehistoric activity and very close to the Saxon cemeteries. This revealed evidence of undated ditches and a later prehistoric ditch, as well as a buried soil layer. A Roman grave containing the skeleton of a mature adult male was also excavated, with nails indicating the presence of a coffin (S1, S2).

Included in the Proceedings of the Suffolk Institute of Archaeology and History annual round up of individual finds and discoveries for 2012 (S2).
