Ipswich UAD child record record IPS 1112 - Building 2486

Only the eastern 2.7m survived of this sunken featured building, right on the street front. The base of the pit survived intact, indicating that it was 3.9m wide and 1.3m deep. Traces of horizontal planking, lining the walls of the cellar, were visible in section. The quantity of burnt and unburnt clay and charcoal in the fill, may indicate a fire above ground level, leading to a collapse of the structure. The final filling of the building was probably in the late 11th or early 12th century as the ceramic assemblage included 347 sherds of Early Medieval Ware and nine sherds of Andenne Ware, (S1).
