Full Description

c. 1930: Small, biconical urn. 4.25 inches high, rim diameter 3.25 inches, collar 1.25 inches in depth, slightly concave externally and internally, foot is slightly protruding, vessel is undecorated (S1).

2004: Evaluation, mostley empty. Ditch and Prehistoric spread, noted, (recorded as IPS 449) (S2).


2004: Desk Based assessment identified a high potential for archaeological remains from the prehistoric to modern periods. There is evidence form the site for a Bronze Age cremation cemetery and there is likely to have been Anglo-Saxon settlement associated with the nearby Boss Hall and Hadleigh Cemeteries. The area was also the site of an extensive factory complete as well as two branches of railway which have likely disturbed the survival of archaeological deposits (S3).
