Full Description

2013-2014: Evaluation and monitoring revealed a total of 26 pits in three locations on the site, many of which contained domestic Early Neolithic material. The pits and their assemblages suggest temporality of settlement, occupation and deposition. A small quantity of Early Neolithic pottery (possibly residual) was recovered from three ditches and a single posthole outside of the main three areas of activity. A large number of ditches were recorded during the course of the evaluation and despite remaining undated, are likely to be agricultural in nature (S1).
Included in the Proceedings of the Suffolk Institute of Archaeology and History annual round up of individual finds and discoveries for 2013 (S2)
