Full Description
1960: Real found during digging on site of COOP warehouse.
1961: During excavations for building works a series of rubbish pits and a total of 4 Thetford ware and an Ipswich ware kiln were revealed. Two of the Thetford Ware kilns were partially excavated by IPSMG, of oval & circular forms. Two pits contained wasters & kiln debris (S2). A silver penny of Aethelred II of circa AD 995 was found at base of pit containing Thetford ware, with an auger. Also a bone skate (Saxon or Medieval). Pottery finds from kilns included Ipswich ware, (kiln 5), Thetford ware (kilns 1,2 & 4), Thetford & Early Medieval wares (kiln 3). Kiln 3 is believed to be c. 1000-1050.
A deep pit (pit 3), possibly a well, containing 11th or 12th century is associated with a skeleton with sword and dagger cuts. Pit 2 contained fragments of kiln debris, pottery, pottery wasters & charcoal, possibly from kiln 3. Further details in (S1-S5).
