Full Description

Evaluation was undertaken across 3 areas. Widely distributed pits, found both as apparently isolated features and in small clusters, were associated with Beaker pottery and flintwork, and a probable Early Bronze Age ‘pit-pyre’ cremation burial was identified. Ditches recorded were found to belong to an extensive
complex of Middle Bronze Age enclosures and boundaries. At least 4 major ditched enclosures, bounded by substantial ditches, were revealed. Evidence for later activity was limited, but included a probable Romano-British boundary ditch and 2 pits producing single sherds of Roman pottery. Post-medieval finds were
concentrated adjacent to the known site of a 19th-century farmstead, and the base of a concrete structure representing part of the infrastructure of the WW2 airfield at RAF Honington was revealed (S1).
