Full Description
February 2015. Trial Trenching.
Evaluation of proposed development site.
The three trenches excavated revealed three pits and two ditches, the majority of which were undated. The one exception was a north-to-south aligned ditch that contained a lower fill of reused and broken post-medieval ceramic building material - presumably dumped to allow it to function as a French drain or soakaway. The feature appears to have coincided with a former plot boundary shown on the Great Ellingham tithe map (S1). The second ditch was an east-to-west aligned feature that produced a single fragment of undatable ceramic building material. It is thought that the three undated discrete features recorded were most likely small extraction pits.
Information from draft report. Final version awaited.
