Site Event/Activity record ESF21250 - Land west of 'The Donkey', Stone Street, Hadleigh

An archaeological evaluation was carried out on land to the west of 'The Donkey', Stone Street, Hadleigh on the 13th and 14th May 2010 in advance of development of the land for the construction of new facilities for Hadleigh Bowls Club. Five trenches were excavated across the site, concentrating in particular on the area of possible medieval street frontage development and the area underneath the proposed main structures for the Bowls Club. Archaeological finds of likely later prehistoric date were encountered, along with a single undated but probably related gully feature in Trench 5.
