Full Description

Archaeological evaluation identified widespread evidence of medieval agricultural activity , and some evidence for medieval settlement in the wider vicinity of the site (S1).

Excavation and monitoring recorded a well preserved series of features and finds across thru site. This included evidence of typical domestic, light industrial and agricultural activity. This is mainly of 13th-14th date, with a lower quantity of 11th-12th century finds and very limited material pre-dating this. The bulk of the finds retrieved comprised a relatively large assemblage of pottery, alongside lower levels of animal bone, shell, CBM, fired clay, lavastone, and post-medieval glass and nails. There were also small quantities of Roman brick and tile. Deposits of slag and ferrous spheroids suggest nearby smithing in the medieval period. Medieval structures are likely to be present nearby, possibly in the adjacent plot to the north-east (S2).
Included in the Proceedings of the Suffolk Institute of Archaeology and History annual round up of individual finds and discoveries for 2018. (S3)
