Site Event/Activity record ESF20289 - Evaluation, Mercedes Garage, Ransomes Europark, Ipswich.

As part of a 5% sample of the site, over 200m of trial trenches were laid out across the area. Despite known prehistoric pits and burials in the vicinity, no features or finds of archaeological interest were recognised. The soil profile of the trenches indicated that some areas of the site had been truncated and it is probable that the area had been previously stripped and topsoil relaid.
