Full Description

A four trench evaluation was carried out to the rear of the Australian Arms, Nos. 48-50 Hamlet Road, Haverhill. During the works a small flint assemblage was recovered from the alluvial natural deposit, which was truncated by a medieval back-plot boundary ditch and a plot boundary ditch, a post-medieval brick outhouse and two post-medieval features. The latter are assumed to have been associated with the Australian Arms, a c.19th century public house (S1).
