Site Event/Activity record ESF21512 - Evaluation at Land off The Street, Earl Soham

An archaeological evaluation was carried out on land north of The Street, Earl Soham. Various hillwash layers were identified in the trenches, as well as a raised, linear gravel spread believed to be the Roman road known to cut through the site. Roman finds were recovered from a series of post holes adjacent to the road, as well as from a subsoil layer which sealed the road surface. Notable amongst these finds was a complete crossbow brooch of 4th century date, usually associated with male, particularly military, costume.
