Description
Archaeological excavation carried out by Archaeology South-East between 22 July 2018 and 14 August 2018 on land south of Norton Road, Thurston, Suffolk. The archaeological fieldwork was commissioned by CgMs Ltd, on behalf of Hopkins Homes Ltd, and undertaken in advance of residential development.
Preceding geophysical survey in 2016 and a phase of evaluation in January-February 2018 of the c.12ha development site established the presence of prehistoric, Late Saxon/medieval and post-medieval remains. Three excavation areas (Areas 1-3), totalling c.3,380sq m, were subsequently targeted upon remains in the west and south of the site.
