Farmstead record BTT 042 - Farmstead: Lower Farm

Lower Farm is a farmstead visible on the 1st Ed Os map. The farmstead is laid out in a dispersed plan. The farmhouse is detached from the working buildings. The farmstead sits alongside a public road in an isolated location. This farmstead survives intact with additional modern sheds onsite. (S1-4)

Recorded as part of the Farmsteads in the Suffolk Countryside Project. This is a purely desk-based study and no site visits were undertaken. These records are not intended to be a definitive assessment of these buildings. Dating reflects their presence at a point in time on historic maps and there is potential for earlier origins to buildings and farmsteads. This project highlights a potential need for a more in depth field study of farmstead to gather more specific age data.

2019: Archaeological Monitoring of the foundations for extensions to the existing dwelling of Lower Farm was undertaken. One undated pit was encountered. No finds were present (S5).
