Description
An archaeological evaluation comprising two trial-trenches was carried out on land at 16 Martyns Rise, Long Melford in advance of the construction of two new dwellings. The site was just outside the village of Long Melford, which was a substantial Roman settlement. Cropmarks were found south-east of the site and interpreted as a possible villa. There is also evidence of medieval and postmedieval activity nearby to the site. Despite this, no archaeological remains or features were found during the evaluation.
