Monument record BAA 053 - OUTLINE RECORD: Roman agricultural activity at Land at The Broadway, Back Lane (BRIT) EVL

2020: Trial trench evaluation identified outlying Roman agricultural activity, represented by a ditch and layer, associated with the more concentrated activity on the adjacent sites excavated in 2017 and 2018. The layer produced the largest quantity of finds on the site and would seem to be the remains of a former Roman soil. This is further supported by the small collection of pottery that represents some form of settled domestic activity. Neither of the two assemblages appear to be later than the 2nd century in date. The ceramic building material recovered indicates (comparably to the adjacent site) that there is a significant Roman structure in the vicinity of the sites. Included in the Proceedings of the Suffolk Institute of Archaeology and History annual round up of individual finds and discoveries for 2020 (S1). Full report to follow.
