Full Description
An evaluation of a 2.6ha area of clayland pasture revealed a series of small ditches with shallow concave bases that ran mainly east-west, with a few running north-south, but all diagonally to the existing field boundaries. The east-west series were roughly parallel to each other at distances that varied from 1.3m to 6m. These may relate to strip field agriculture, but while a small quantity of medieval pottery was recovered, this could be residual and is not reliable as dating evidence. Included in the Proceedings of the Suffolk Institute of Archaeology and History annual round up of individual finds and discoveries for 2009 (S1).
