Description
Monitoring of footing trenches for an extension behind 42 Churchgate Street, Bury St Edmunds, revealed stratified archaeological deposits that extended to a depth of c.1.4m below the modern ground level. The layers represented accumulated soils and features spanning from the medieval to the modern periods. Following the monitoring, a small trench was excavated as part of an adjustment to the original works. The larger trench was 1.4m wide and 8.2m long, spanning the width of the plot from east to west and was excavated by hand to a depth of 1.4m (S1).
