Description
Circumstances of excavation
Planning permission (I/89/1363/FP) was granted for an office development on this already cleared site.
Site Constraints
Funding was only available for sample excavation of the site and the area excavated lay at the south end, c.5m back from Fore Street, to avoid any Victorian basements. Post-1990 further excavation has taken place on the same development area.
Funding bodies
The excavation, by the Suffolk Archaeological Unit in 1990, was funded by the prospective developer, Paxsign Ltd.
