Full Description

Four Late Neolithic/Early Bronze Age cremations were found along the north edge of the site, and an undated crouched inhumation in the east half of the site is suspected of being the same date. There were two groups of Later Bronze Age/Earlier Iron Age pits and two round houses probably of the same date. Large assemblages of LBA and EIA pottery were recovered from the site. (S1).

Monitoring of soil stripping for a carpark exposed evidence of late Roman settlement. There was no early Roman activity on the site but a significant later occupation including building remains. Included in the Proceedings of the Suffolk Institute of Archaeology and History annual round up of individual finds and discoveries for 2007 (S2).
