Full Description
2014/2015: Archaeological evaluation in advance of a proposed housing development revealed evidence of Iron Age-Roman occupation. Archaeological remains dating from the earlier prehistoric to the post-medieval were recorded. Most of the remains were Iron Age-Roman but a small assemblage of mostly Neolithic/Early Bronze Age worked flints were found as residual finds in later deposits. Two of the flint pieces could be Mesolithic or Early Neolithic. (S1).

Included in the Proceedings of the Suffolk Institute of Archaeology and History annual round up of individual finds and discoveries for 2015 (S3).
