Full Description
2016: An archaeological evaluation was undertaken on land at Parkfield Farm, Laxfield in June 2016 in advance of the proposed construction of two new poultry sheds on an area of arable field. A single large pit was encountered towards the eastern side of the site, found to contain post-medieval artefacts and likely to be a refuse pit. A near-complete rowel spur was identified as one of the small
finds from this feature. (S1)
