NHER 66455 (Monument record) - Undated possible linear feature

October 2020-March 2021. Geophysical Survey.
Magnetometer survey of site on proposed route of Anglian Water Bexwell to Bury St Edmunds pipeline (Area 15).
The only potentially archaeologically-significant response was a small ‘horseshoe’-shaped linear anomaly at the southern end of the site.
A relatively large discrete anomaly to the east is thought to be of natural origin.
Scattered dipolar anomalies are likely to have been caused by ferrous material on or close to the surface (most likely modern debris).
See report (S1) for further details.

July 2021. Desk-based Assessment.
Assessment of potentially impact of proposed Anglian Water Bexwell to Bury St Edmunds pipeline.
For further details see report (S2), which was submitted as part of the Environmental Statement for the scheme.

September 2021. Trial Trenching.
Evaluation of site on proposed route of Anglian Water Bexwell to Bury St Edmunds pipeline (Trenches 53 and 54).
The two trenches excavated at this location revealed no archaeologically-significant features or deposits. It should though be noted that neither trench coincided with the horseshoe-shaped linear anomaly recorded by the preceding geophysical survey.
No finds were recovered.
Information from draft report. Final version awaited.
