Full Description
Monitoring identified a single small undated gully was identified located west of the recorded barrows. No artefactual material pre-dating the modern period was recovered (S1).
Evaluation revealed numerous ditches, part of a post-medieval field system that correlates with boundaries depicted on historic maps. Undated ditches often extended parallel to those visible on historic maps, suggesting they were part of the same field system. Charcoal-rich pits and the remains of charcoal “clamps” were also present, several of which cut the subsoil.
Included in the Proceedings of the Suffolk Institute of Archaeology and History annual round up of individual finds and discoveries for 2022 (S2)
