Full Description

2013: An archaeological evaluation revealed a pit containing 15 sherds of early Bronze Age pottery. The pottery assemblage contained a sherd of grog-tempered Beaker ware possibly from a Collared Urn. The majority of the other ditches and pits identified were of post medieval or later date, although no ditch alignments were able to be traced between trenches. Several residual struck Neolithic flint were scattered across the site and two sherds of 1st Century AD pottery were identified in a ditch (S1).

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