Site Event/Activity record ESF22249 - Evaluation, Land behind Station Garage, Main Road, Darsham, Suffolk

PROJECT DETAILS An archaeological trial trench evaluation was conducted for the Skinner-Salter Partnership ahead of proposals to construct new holiday lodges behind Station Garage, Main Road, Darsham, Suffolk. Four trenches were opened of which two contained features of archaeological interest. Trench 1 (the northernmost trench) contained a possible post-hole believed to be of post-medieval to modern date whilst Trench 3 (the southernmost trench) contained a possible small pit which appeared to be an area of softer ground in-filled with post medieval rubble. All four of the trenches contained land drains. Project status: Complete Yes, Validated Yes Previous/Future Work: Previous No, Future Not known Associated Identifiers: HER event no.
