Site Event/Activity record ESF20186 - Monitoring - 1 Lower Olland Street, Bungay

An archaeological monitoring was carried out in advance of the conversion and extension of a garage block to residential use. The garages are located to the rear of the former Angel public house, built in the 16th century. The trench for the strip foundations measured 0.6m wide to 1.6m deep and was c.23m long. The monitoring revealed dumped deposits interpreted as fills of the medieval town ditch that is known to extend across the site. These deposits were truncated by three mortared flint and brick foundations, probably associated with former outbuildings or structures to the rear of the Angel public house. The foundations were sealed by a layer of 18th- or 19th-century garden soil, which in turn was overlaid by a brick surface (S1).
