Full Description

Alterations to 7, Water Street, Lavenham, required archaeological monitoring of groundworks. The level of solid floors was reduced in two areas, producing an assemblage of medieval and post medieval finds. The only feature revealed was a thin, burnt lens containing modern material and possibly associated with a former smithy (S1).

Included in the Proceedings of the Suffolk Institute of Archaeology and History annual round up of individual finds and discoveries for 2005 (S2).
