Full Description
The evidence recovered indicates that there was no intensive activity undertaken at the site and despite archaeological features being present in each of the four trenches, the site appears to have been marginal and relatively unoccupied. Two north-south linear features, perhaps gullies or land divisions were recorded, along with an east-west aligned linear feature with a terminus. It appears that there was a Roman presence in the vicinity of the site; Roman domestic pottery and ceramic building material were collected from features and there is also some evidence of skinning for retrieval of hides and perhaps horn working. It appears that material from the site including the Roman pottery, tile and animal bone may have been dumped there as the result of activity taking place in the vicinity, indicating that there was some form of Roman occupation relatively close by (S1).
Included in the Proceedings of the Suffolk Institute of Archaeology and History annual round up of individual finds and discoveries for 2013 (S2)
