Monument record FRK 212 - OUTLINE RECORD: Possible barrow ditches, Bexwell to Bury St Edmunds (MOLAN) GEO EVAL

A linear band of 22 trenches were excavated in the parish of Freckenham over 0.64km. Six trenches contained archaeological features and these corresponded to the results of the preceding geophysical survey. The evaluation has confirmed the presence of two ring ditches and a scatter of pits.
No dating evidence was recovered from the ring ditches, but they were tentatively identified as barrow ditches. The other features broadly dated from the late Bronze Age to the late Iron Age/early Roman period, though the most common pottery recovered was Iron Age in date (600 BC AD 43). An early medieval pit was also identified, which produced pottery of early to middle Saxon date (AD 450-900). No other contemporary features were identified in the evaluation.
