Full Description

2010: Monitoring of new drainage and the lowering of the floor levels in the N-S range of the building identified two pits a trench, a brick-lined well and a possible rammed earth floor. The pits both contained a layer of Fe slag and exhibited evidence of in situ burning. The pits cut the possible rammed earth floor surface which was post-medieval. The trench contained large quantities of post-medieval CBM. The well was post-medieval or modern. The monitoring revealed no Saxon or medieval features. During a site visit prior to the monitoring and recording four abraded early post-medieval sherds and three pieces of slag were collected (S1). Included in the Proceedings of the Suffolk Institute of Archaeology and History annual round up of individual finds and discoveries for 2010 (S2).
