Description

Excavation after evaluation on land between Lady Lane and Tower Lane, Hadleigh revealed phases of Iron Age, medieval and post-medieval activity including occupation deposits and post-structures, as well as field boundaries and pits. The excavation located an area of early Iron Age occupation, with several poststructures and a probable small trackway, with hearth debris pits and domestic artefacts such as loom weights and spindle whorls suggesting that the larger post-structures could well have been dwellings, as well a single pit positively identified as being of Late Neolithic/Early Bronze Age date, with a small amount of disassociated 'stray' finds identified in the hill wash deposit to the south of the site. In addition, elements of late post-medieval/modern field boundaries were found across the site.
