Monument record BLB 094 - Medieval quarrying and ditch at Amberley

2014: Evaluation trenching revealed large pits associated with probable quarrying activity across much of the site. One pit may be an exception to this as its fill contained domestic waste. A late medieval ditch was identified in the south east of the site. This ditch contained animal bone which is most likely food waste from domestic activity in the vicinity. Residual later prehistoric and Roman finds were found in the medieval pits. One pit produced a single sherd of Ipswich ware which contained two masses of ironwork. These may also be of an early date but are obscured by corrosion and accretion and are currently being X-rayed (2016) (S1). Included in the Proceedings of the Suffolk Institute of Archaeology and History annual round up of individual finds and discoveries for 2014 (S2).
