Full Description
An archaeological evaluation was carried out on the proposed site for a single facility building on the RAF Mildenhall Waste Water Treatment Plant, Rookery Drove, Suffolk. This work revealed four ditches from two phases of activity, which are thought to represent fen drainage and a possible drove-way. Whilst there was no dating evidence, this activity is likely to have been post-medieval. Despite modern disturbance of the topsoil, the archaeological levels were well preserved (S1).
