Monument record FML 098 - Post-medieval ditches at St Catherine's Meadow, Framlingham

2017: Evaluation identified two large post-medieval ditches in the north central part of the site, and an isolated undated pit in the west side. Both ditches dated to between the 17th – 18th century, containing pottery, ceramic building material and glass of that date range, as well as animal bone, some of which displayed evidence of butchery, and oyster shell. Both ditches are on the same alignment as Saxtead Road to the north and do not appear on the 1885 Ordnance Survey Map (S1). Included in the Proceedings of the Suffolk Institute of Archaeology and History annual round up of individual finds and discoveries for 2017 (S1,S2).
