Full Description

2010: Monitoring revealed dumped deposits interpreted as fills of the medieval town ditch that is known to extend across the site. These deposits were truncated by three mortared flint and brick foundations, probably associated with former outbuildings or structures to the rear of the 16th century Angel public house. The foundations were sealed by a layer of 18th- or 19th-century garden soil, which in turn was overlaid by a brick surface (S1). Included in the Proceedings of the Suffolk Institute of Archaeology and History annual round up of individual finds and discoveries for 2010 (S2).
