Full Description
2009: An archaeological evaluation revealed a sequence of archaeological features and layers within the trench indicative of late medieval to early post-medieval domestic settlement on the terraced hill side (S1).
2010: This monitoring confirmed that a platform of clay, probably for a building of early post-medieval date survived towards the front of the property and that a layer of gravel below the clay sealed the top of what are interpreted as pits for the extraction of gravel. There were a number of pits across the site and these clearly represent a range of dates. The latest of these was c.3m deep and was infilled during the 20th century (S2).
Included in the Proceedings of the Suffolk Institute of Archaeology and History annual round up of individual finds and discoveries for 2009 (S3)
