Monument record HGH 060 - Land off Fishponds Way, Haughley

2018: Geophysical survey did not identify any anomalies of archaeological interest. Modern agricultural cultivation was identified, anomalies of uncertain origin were noted and responses due to natural causes were recorded (S1).

2018: An evaluation of 15 trenches was undertaken in advance of a proposed residential development. The results showed archaeological activity from the Late Neolithic/Early Bronze Age to the Iron Age/Romano-British periods. Archaeological features were mainly located along the SW boundary of the site. Three discrete features contained sherds of Later Neolithic/Early Bronze Age Beaker pottery. Two discrete pits contained charcoal flecks but no archaeological artefacts. The rest of the features identified across the site were undated. However, two funerary urns of probable Iron Age/Romano-British date were recovered. A large undated feature, most likely a quarry pit, was also found. (S2, S4)

Excavation reported Terminal Palaeolithic Long Blade. (S3)
