Full Description
An archaeological evaluation was carried out on land north of The Street, Earl Soham. Various hillwash layers were identified in the trenches, as well as a raised, linear gravel spread believed to be the Roman road known to cut through the site. Roman finds were recovered from a series of post holes adjacent to the road, as well as from a subsoil layer which sealed the road surface. Notable amongst these finds was a complete crossbow brooch of 4th century date, usually associated with male, particularly military, costume (S1).
