Full Description
2004: Evaluation identified medieval deposits, including a spread of pozzolanic mortar, recovered from the north end of the site in a medieval context, which may have come from the demolition of a cellar or crypt. The base of a wall was seen which may be one of the property boundaries which appear on the Warren map 1747. It was dug into a layer which produced exclusively medieval finds (S2).
2007: Subsequent monitoring identified a single pit containing sherds of Thetford ware, as well as numerous post-medieval features, including pits, ditches, walls, a yard surface and wells. Two of the walls were identified running at right angles to Guildhall St and were probably property boundaries (S1).
Included in the Proceedings of the Suffolk Institute of Archaeology and History annual round up of individual finds and discoveries for 2005 (S3).
