Full Description

2013: An evaluation on the site revealed the top of a large clay pad or platform with a small area used as a hearth and an earlier clay wall type foundation. The clay pad feature is likely to be early post medieval in date and was interpreted as a base for craft type activities located to the reliable water source of the River Linnet. The earlier clay wall feature was associated with a few pottery sherds of medieval date (S1).

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