Full Description
2014: A series of watching briefs, evaluation trial trenches and excavations were carried out along the line of the Barsham to Alder Carr Water Pipeline. Evaluation trial trenching identified four archaeological sites along the course of the 21km pipeline. Open area excavation of these sites recorded evidence of human activity dating from the Early Neolithic to medieval periods. Excavation at this site examined an area of ‘dark earth’ associated with post-holes and other structural features. A circular gully for a probable roundhouse was present, as well as ditches thought to form enclosures or field boundaries. Pottery,mostly recovered from the ‘dark earth,’ suggests the site was active in the 2nd–3rd centuries AD. Included in the Proceedings of the Suffolk Institute of Archaeology and History annual round up of individual finds and discoveries for 2014 (S1). Full report to follow.
