Site Event/Activity record ESF19333 - Evaluation at Elmside Farm, Finningham Road, Walsham Le Willows

An archaeological evaluation in advance of housing development at Elmside Farm, Walsham Le Willows identified unstratified evidence of a phase of activity in the Roman period with possible associated truncated features. A medieval phase of activity, consisting of unstratified material and a pair of parallel ditches in broad alignment with the adjacent Townhouse Road, was also identified. The site therefore has high potential for development groundworks to disturb further evidence of Roman and medieval occupation and so further stages of archaeological work were recommended.
