Monument record TMX 017 - Monitoring of footing trench. Land adjacent the Bull Inn, Thorpe Morieux
Please read our guidance about the use of Suffolk Historic Environment Record data.
Summary
Monitoring of footing trench at land adjacent to the Bull Inn, Thorpe Morieux, produced evidence for a large ditch or pond running close to the present road frontage. Pottery evidence suggested that this had been gradually filled in from the medieval period onwards, and a relatively large quantity of late medieval pottery in both the upper levels of the ditch and a nearby layer may indicate mid to high status occupation on the site in the early post-medieval period.
