Full Description
Fieldwalking, aerial photographic survey and localised excavation in advance of work along a new water main pipeline between 15th January and 11th May 2007. Fieldwalking identified a concentration of Roman finds to the north of Chilton Hall, which was investigated within a 10m wide strip along the route of the pipeline and identified a pit and a ditch that appear to date to the earlier Roman period. The finds indicate the nearby presence of a Roman structure, dating to the 2nd to 4th centuries AD, with an earlier phase of activity represtned by features from the excavation (S1)(S3).
Included in the Proceedings of the Suffolk Institute of Archaeology and History annual round up of individual finds and discoveries for 2007 (S2).
