Full Description
2005: Archaeological excavation identified sequences of ditches, occasional pits and a possible hearth. Howevere, more than half the area had been destroyed by previous development which in conjuction with an absence of reliable dating evidence for the features, made it almost impossible to interpret the site. (S1)
Included in the Proceedings of the Suffolk Institute of Archaeology and History annual round up of individual finds and discoveries for 2005 (S3).
