Site Event/Activity record ESF27973 - Evaluation - Land to the rear of 62-80 High Road West, Felixstowe

2020: An archaeological evaluation in advance of a small residential development revealed no archaeological features. Four trenches measuring 10.00m x 1.80m were excavated. The trenches revealed a 250mm to 300mm depth of topsoil above 0.35mm to 0.45mm of mid brown sandy subsoil giving a trench depth of 0.60mm to 0.80mm above glaciofluvial deposits which were a uniform very silty sand with small flints. A single small sherd of Iron Age pottery (7g) and a single sherd of Roman greyware (20g) were found in the subsoil of trench 1. The remaining finds comprised a clay tobacco pipe stem fragment, and a low level scatter of later post Medieval peg tile fragments across the site. (S1)
