Full Description

2020: Evaluation was undertaken to the N and S of the existing quarry. The N-most trenches revealed small pits and associated flint assemblages dating to the Neolithic and Early Bronze Age, as well as later Iron Age and Early Roman features believed to be the continuation of a settlement encountered in excavations from 2004–2009. Trenches to the SE uncovered a later post-medieval ditch, still visible on late 19th-century Ordnance Survey maps. 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.
