Full Description
May-September 2014.
Monitoring of groundworks associated with the Great Ellingham sewerage scheme.
Five drill pits was monitored. A pair of post-medieval ditches were the only archaeologically significant remains identified (NHER 61945). Elsewhere the only deposit of note was a possible metalled surface identified in a drill pit close to the pond. In some places tarmac and hardcore deposits lay directly above the natural geology, suggesting the construction of the modern road had resulted in at least a degree of truncation to the underlying layers. This was however clearly not true for the whole of Church Street, with buried soils surviving beneath the road deposits in at least two of the pits.
