Description
Archaeological monitoring of groundwork associated with the construction of a new school hall and playground at Earl Soham Primary School. The school lies across the line of a Roman road. After the removal of the topsoil a further 0.3m of material was excavated. The natural subsoil is believed to lie at a depth of c. 1.2m. Observation of the soil strip for the construction of a new playground revealed only a soft brown silty clay beneath the existing topsoil which has been interpreted as a 'hillwash' deposit that has buried any earlier ground surfaces. No archaeological features or deposits were noted and no artefacts were recovered.
