Monument record ERL 143 - Liberty Village Phase 1 evaluation, RAFL

This report is a brief summary of the results of an archaeological field evaluation of Phase 1 of the Liberty Village development, RAF Lakenheath. Two areas were identified for subsequent excavation, an apparent Bronze Age barrow with a central crouched inhumation (hevaily disturbed) of a probable female aged 15-18 (ERL 148) and an occupation area with a dense spread of Iron Age pits (ERL 147). Together these demonstrated the presence of activity over a long period through the Bronze and Iron Ages (S1). The full report on the evaluation results will be included with any future work.

2006: An aerial photographic assessment identified a field boundary across the north of the site that appeared to be a continuation those found as part of ERL 147 (S2).
