Monument record FEX 497 - Iron Age and Post Medieval ditches and Prehistoric pit at Gulpher Farm, Gulpher Road, Felixstowe

2023: The evaluation recovered a small assemblage of prehistoric, Roman and medieval pottery, Medieval to Post Medieval CBM, undated fired clay, and heat-affected flint. The pottery is highly fragmentary and no archaeological feature contained sufficient concentrations to confidently date the deposit or feature from which it was recovered. The proximity of a possible late prehistoric settlement to the south of the site may account for the residual presence of the prehistoric pottery assemblage in the subsoil, three ditches and one pit at the site. The parallel ditches revealed in Trench 1 and Trench 3 may represent part of a contemporary field system of post medieval date that was extant during the survey for the 1st edition Ordnance Survey (OS) map (1888 - 1913) (S1).
