Monument record TYN 130 - OUTLINE RECORD: Bronze Age to Post Medieval activity at Hams Farm house, Back Road - EVAL (CAT)

2014: Following trial-trenching evaluation in January 2014, monitoring and excavation was carried out on the site of a proposed agricultural reservoir in May and June 2014. The excavations revealed activity dating from the Bronze Age to the post-medieval period. This included five prehistoric pits, six Roman pits, a cluster of twenty-six Anglo-Saxon pits and post-holes, and a post-medieval field ditch. Three of the four large Anglo-Saxon pits contained loom-weight fragments. Also present was a rectilinear field system including enclosure and possible droveway. This is tentatively-dated to the post-medieval period. Included in the Proceedings of the Suffolk Institute of Archaeology and History annual round up of individual finds and discoveries for 2014 (S1).
