Site Event/Activity record ESF20263 - Monitoring - Bures Mill, Nayland Road, Bures St Mary

An archaeological monitoring was carried out on land at Bures Mill, Bures St Mary ahead of proposed development at the rear of the property. Footings trenches for a new conservatory were excavated to a depth of c.1.43m and revealed a sequence of at least seven layers (including modern topsoil), the lower of which were either flood deposits or had been waterlogged previously. A fragment of pegtile recovered from the base of the exposed sequence suggests that all the observed layers were deposited in the late medieval or post-medieval period (S1).
