Full Description

2017: Excavation revealed a possible Bronze Age enclosure. The upper fills of the ditches contained Iron Age pottery. Beneath the lowermost fill was an antler pick. Within this enclosure post-holes possibly forming two ‘round houses’ were excavated, as were several possible cremations. Several other linear features and pits of a Romano-British date were excavated towards the western end of the site and one grave containing an inhumation in the form of a sand body. Towards the centre of the site several layers of colluvium were observed to overlay Neolithic to Bronze Age features. These features were made up of pits, postholes and a small ditch. Included in the Proceedings of the Suffolk Institute of Archaeology and History annual round up of individual finds and discoveries for 2017 (S1). Full report to follow (S1).
