Description

2019: An archaeological trial trench evaluation was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology in July 2019 at 19-20 Thoroughfare, Halesworth, Suffolk. Three trenches were excavated, ahead of a proposed housing development. In Trenches 2 and 3 the remains of several large post-medieval pits were encountered. The top 0.10 – 0.40m of these pits was removed during the machine-excavation of the trenches, to ensure that these were cut features and not layers of material obscuring older archaeological remains. The western part of the site, including the area of Trenches 2 and 3, was up to 0.80m AOD lower than the area of Trench 1, and had clearly been subject to terracing or landscaping. No subsoil was encountered in Trenches 2 and 3, where a 0.25m layer of garden soil overlay the surface geology. (S1)
