Full Description
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken along the route of a proposed Link Road from the A12 towards Leiston, as part of investigations prior to the proposed new nuclear power station at Sizewell C. This revealed evidence for Roman domestic activity, comprising ditches and pits containing 1st–2nd century pottery and fired clay at YOX 046. Evidence for a medieval enclosure of uncertain (possibly domestic) purpose, with pottery dating to the 11th to 14th centuries, was identified within site THB 046 (S1).
