Description

An archaeological monitoring was carried out on land to the north west of Baylham Pumping Station, in advance of a nickel removal scheme undertaken by Anglian Water. A single area strip, heading northwest from the pumping station, was opened and 3 features were observed. All three features date to the early Anglo-Saxon period, with residual finds from the Roman period possibly indicating some continuity of activity within the Roman settlement Combretovium, less than 200m to the north, into this period or as further examples of Anglo-Saxon ‘curation’ of Roman objects. The site also provides further evidence of Anglo-Saxon activity in the Gipping.
