Description
An archaeological evaluation at the site of 110A Victoria Street, Ipswich, resulted in the digging of two linear trial trenches. The trenches were deep, in many places of 0.8m depth or more, and had to be cut through thick deposits of modern demolition spreads and buried topsoil. Along the base of the trenches frequent interventions of 19th and 20th century date were encountered, including pits, drains, wall footings and a brick-filled soakaway. All features were likely to belong to either the construction of Victoria Street in the 19th century or the site's subsequent use as a builder's yard and then as a small business estate (now demolished). The only feature to possibly predate this period was a ceramic land-drain which probably dated to when the site was still in agricultural used, but was still likely to be of 19th century date. No earlier features, deposits or finds of archaeological interest were identified.
