Find Spot record HXN 065 - Post-medieval pottery, High House, Church Hill

2013: An archaeological community event excavating 29 test pits by local residents and other volunteers. The event was organised by the Hoxne Heritage Group, as part of their HLF funded project 'The Story of Hoxne'. The test pits frequently demonstrated that preserved archaeological layers are present - see HXN 062, 063-072 and DEN 012

Post-medieval pottery was recovered from Test Pit 5 at High House which is a Grade II listed 16th century building (National Ref: 1032510). It is clearly marked on the Tithe map. Additional finds include fragments of wall tile with figurative decoration. The thin topsoil over deposits of redeposited clay may indicate previous groundworks such as levelling of the plot or earliers uses (S1).
