Site Event/Activity record ESF20731 - Land Adjacent 12 Stow Road, Ixworth

An archaeological monitoring was carried out on grassland between No. 12 and No. 13, Stow Road, Ixworth, Suffolk. A previous stage of evaluation work had revealed a large medieval pit and a 16th-18th century building demolition layer, that were uncovered further during this stage of works. A post hole was also discovered close to these features, which was possibly medieval. Three post-medieval pits, one of which contained a horse skeleton, were found at the northern end of the site, as well as an undated feature that may have been a boundary ditch. Medieval and post-medieval pottery, late/post-medieval CBM, and post-medieval animal bone, horseshoes, nails and mortar were recovered.
