Description
In November 2012 Archaeological Solutions Ltd (AS) carried out an archaeological evaluation at Barrow Hill, Barrow, Suffolk (NGR TL 7655 6300. The evaluation was undertaken in advance of the proposed construction of a residential development. Archaeological features were generally recorded in the southern half of the site. A singe early Bronze Age feature, Pit F1019 (Tr.19) was recorded. Though isolated it did contained nine (29g) of pottery and a small quantity (25g) of animal bone. Proceeding chronologically, residual Roman tegula was found in Pit F1007 (Tr.21). In the eastern sector of the site Trench 21 contained Ditch F1003 which produced medieval (late 12th - 13th century) pottery. In the same trench Pit F1007 contained residual medieval (late 12th - 13th/14th century) pottery. In the opposite sector of the site (north-western) medieval sherds were found in the topsoil of Trenches 1 and 3.
