Description
An archaeological evaluation was carried out on land at The Havens, Ransomes Europark, Ipswich (TM 2078 4142; IPS 625) in advance of a proposal to build a new fire station and associated car parking. Two features were recorded, a ditch likely to have been a former field boundary, and a small, round pit rich in charcoal which may represent burning in situ. Similar features are well documented from this part of Ipswich but their date and function remain unclear at present. Datable material was not recovered from either feature.
