Site Event/Activity record ESF22238 - Archaeological Monitoring Report, Carlton Marshes, Carlton Colville, Suffolk

Monitoring of works for three small scrapes designed to enhance the local habitat for wildlife within a marshland reserve at -2m OD in an area traditionally used for seasonal grazing. The maximum depth of the 12m x 12m scrapes was 1m and below the topsoil a clean, stone-free, alluvial deposit was revealed. It is clear that this low lying area has seen episodic periods of flooding with the consequent deposit of fine, silty alluvial material in all probability over a very long period in the last few thousand years. No archaeological features or finds were recorded.
