Description

The upgrading of parking aprons and the laying of a drainage system at RAF Mildenhall led to a programme of archaeological monitoring. The monitoring identified areas on the airfield where the soil profile is intact and an early buried top-soil survives. This demonstrates that the conditions for archaeological sites still remain on some parts of the airfield and the potential for recovery of material is good. The discovery offlitns finds in these areas is consistent with the findings at MNL 464 and the features within the pipe trench, although not positively dated, suggest that some form of occupation activity spread into the southern airfield area.
