Site Event/Activity record ESF21638 - Excavation at Elmside farm, Walsham Le Willows

A programme of archaeological work at Elmside Farm, Walsham Le Willows, Suffolk included three phases of trenched evaluation and two open area excavations. The archaeology was dominated by medieval deposits representing occupation on the Finningham Road street frontage with three buildings in plots demarked by a series of ditches. Earlier features included a ditch of Iron Age date and Roman pits and layers. Post medieval features included a backfilled pond, footing and service trenches associated with Elmside Farm Farmhouse and post-holes, presumably for farm outbuildings.
