Monument record HNY 033 - Roman period post hole allignment at Hinderclay Hall, Hinderclay (EVAL, SAFG)

2010: A series of trenches dug in a field (HNY 032) to test cropmarks seen on an aerial photograph showed the presence of enclosures, pits and trackways with late Iron Age and early Roman pottery and other artefacts. The cropmarks continued into the adjoining field (HNY 033) which showed a parallel row of post-holes and produced 3rd-century pottery and coins from fieldwalking. Included in the Proceedings of the Suffolk Institute of Archaeology and History annual round up of individual finds and discoveries for 2010 (S1).

The cropmarks from HNY 032 continued into the adjoining field (HNY 033) which showed a parallel row of post-holes. A programme of fieldwalking and metal detecting was undertaken which produced around 400 sherds of 3rd-century pottery and three coins. These were mostly concentrated within the area shown on the cropmarks as two parallel rows of postholes of a possible building (S2).
