Monument record BEG 057 - OUTLINE RECORD - Iron Age/Romano-British occupation at East Anglia One Area 21 (EXC)

2017: Excavation revealed the remains of late Iron Age/ Romano-British occupation. Evidence consisted of pits, postholes and a ring ditch. The ring ditch had a diameter of 12m and contained associated postholes within its alignment, suggesting that it represented the remains of a large ‘round house’. A ditch was recorded to the west of the site which respected another earlier ditch on the same alignment, possibly defining the settlement area. Artefacts included fragments of Black Burnished Ware and Black Surfaced Romanising Ware. A late Iron Age to early Romano-British period date for the settlement activity seems most likely. 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.
