Full Description

Land W of Halesworth Road, (TM/3783; ISL 038). Evaluation revealed surviving medieval activity within the W portion of the site; this activity may have extended across the site, but has been truncated by later post-medieval and modern disturbance in the E portion of the site. Multiple ditches and gullies on a N–S alignment and a single pit represent the earliest phase of activity, dating from the 11th–14th centuries. The second phase found dates to the 15th–16th centuries and is represented by a metaled surface. This surface overlays a gully and ditch, which seemed to represent a reworking of the area in the late medieval/early post-medieval period (S1).
