Monument record LWT 411 - OUTLINE RECORD: pre-medieval organic alluvial deposists at Lake Lothing Third Crossing (AS) Eval

2020: An evaluation revealed a significant depth of made ground in the E sector of the site, overlying organic alluvial deposits approximately 2m below the current ground surface. The W side of the site appears to have been truncated, rather than raised, with only 0.40m of made ground directly overlying the natural sands. The only features present were of modern date. The organic alluvial deposits likely relate to a former inlet or area of marshland, as has been suggested by local historians, within the vicinity of the older core of Lowestoft prior to the medieval development of the High Street. Included in the Proceedings of the Suffolk Institute of Archaeology and History annual round up of individual finds and discoveries for 2020 (S1). Full report to follow.
