Site Event/Activity record ESF19314 - Land off Chalkstone Way, Haverhill

An archaeological evaluation of land off Chalkstone Way, Haverhill, identified a phase of prehistoric occupation, consisting of isolated pits and a system of parallel ditches dating to the Late Bronze Age or Iron Age periods. The sparse scatter of features and limited amount of material finds which while not indicating a high level of activity, also means that the exact date and function of these features is unclear.
