Monument record BTT 027 - Medieval features, Land west of Church Farm, Buxhall Road, Brettenham

2014: The evaluation lies on the southern side of the road, within the historic settlement core of Brettenham. The evaluation identified a number of medieval features including pits, post holes and ditches (S1). Included in the Proceedings of the Suffolk Institute of Archaeology and History annual round up of individual finds and discoveries for 2014 (S5).

2014: Excavation encountered an area of enclosed medieval (12th to 14th century AD) activity, including at least two rectilinear enclosures bounded by short lengths of possible trackway. The c. NE-SW/ NW-SE alignments of the medieval boundaries mirrored those of adjacent Buxhall Road and The Street. A number of pits and postholes and a single ?pond were also assigned to this phase. The north-westernmost medieval enclosure contained the remains of a possible post-built structure; perhaps a simple agricultural building, animal pen or shelter. It is thought that the medieval site represents a toft and croft-type peasant holding (S2,S3)
