Monument record NRN 017 - Evaluation, Little Green

An evaluation on part of the medieval green was completed in advance of a small housing development. A group of small features and an extensive hollow, the result of clay extraction, were recorded, these were all post-medieval and the whole pottery assemblage was 17th century or later. The southern green edge is preserved in the existing field ditch, medieval pottery was recorded on the surface of the adjacent field but none on the green itself. Despite building infill, the line of the south edge of the green can be traced by the position of the older houses, this shows that the green was linear in plan and was probably originally a continuation of the much larger Buttonhaugh Green to the west (S1). Included in the Proceedings of the Suffolk Institute of Archaeology and History annual round up of individual finds and discoveries for 2006 (S2).
