Monument record FML 074 - Moat House, Castle Street, Framlingham, Suffolk

Monitoring of trenching works for a rear conservatory revealed a uniform one metre deposit of mid grey clay containing no finds save occasional small fragments of peg tile while the foundation for a side entrance enclosure will be a shallow raft due to its proximity to a large tree, a shallow trench nearby to re-route a pipe was also relatively shallow. It is notable that the site lies on the line of the medieval town bank and ditch as defined by the curving intra-mural Double Street and extra-mural Fore Street to the south and the uniform clay deposit recorded in the conservatory foundation trenches may be on the inner side of the now filled-in ditch close to it junction with the putative bank and the name of the house may reflect this location (S1).
