Site Event/Activity record ESF21790 - Archaeological Desk Based Assessment at Walnut Tree Hospital, Sudbury

An examination of the Suffolk HER, documentary and cartographic search and a site inspection, has set the proposed 0.95ha development area (PDA) within its immediate archaeological landscape. The general topographic location of the PDA and the known archaeology of the area, being located within the area of the Anglo-Saxon and medieval settlement of Sudbury and in particular upon the site of the medieval St Gregory's College, suggests that there is a moderate to very high potential for encountering archaeological remains within the PDA but that such deposits are likely to be affected by the PDA's recent land-use and in variable states of preservation. Further archaeological investigation, beginning with a programme of trial trench evaluation is recommended.
