Full Description

Four evaluation trenches were excavated on a site adjoining the western edge of the Westfield housing estate in Clare, Suffolk. One undated pit and two ditches were excavated, producing ceramic building material, animal bone, oyster shell and a nail. The ditches do not appear to be associated with each other and are likely to be late medieval or post-medieval field boundaries. Despite being regularly ploughed the archaeological levels appeared to be relatively well preserved (S1).

Included in the Proceedings of the Suffolk Institute of Archaeology and History annual round up of individual finds and discoveries for 2014.
