Full Description

2013: Trial trench evaluation identified two undated linear features, cutting the natural sand and sealed by a subsoil deposit. One was irregular in plan and profile and was not obviously man-made. The other was more regular in shape with a ditch-like profile. The fills of both features were similar to the overlying subsoil and neither of them produced any finds. It is unclear therefore whether these features were of natural or man-made origin. A residual worked flint of Mesolithic or Neolithic date was found in an overlying soil horizon; Unpatinated, snapped blad with neat, steep secondary retouch including a notch on the bulbar face.

Included in the Proceedings of the Suffolk Institute of Archaeology and History annual round up of individual finds and discoveries for 2013 (S2).
