Full Description

Archaeological monitoring during stripping for a new road surface revealed evidence of one cut feature well below the depth of the road formation levels. This feature is believed to be a post-medieval chalk quarry pit. Due to the depth of the archaeological levels being well below the formation levels it has not been fully established to what degree archaeological deposits may or may not exist in the area. No finds were recovered (S1).

Included in the Proceedings of the Suffolk Institute of Archaeology and History annual round up of individual finds and discoveries for 2011 (S2).
