Monument record SXM 050 - Saxmundham Southern Gateway

2017: Geophysical survey provided evidence for significant archaeological activty in the east of the site. Anomalies relating to a trackway and adjoining settlement are present, although some of the anomalies are fragmented or difused and so are difficult to interpret in places. There is evidence for enclosure ditches and possible sub-enclosures and there are discrete responses present that could be related to the remains of the structures or areas of burning or industrial activities. There are weaker, discontinuous anomalies in the westeren part of the site. There is a change in the back ground magnetic responses in the east of the area that is suggestive of a change to, or an increase in the amount of alluvial deposits, presumably associated with the adjacent watercourse (S1).
