Site Event/Activity record ESF19334 - Haverhill, Ehringhausen Way

An archaeological evaluation was carried out on land at Ehringhausen Way, Haverhill, Suffolk. The land is subject to planning consent for commercial development. The site lies in an area of archaeological potential. The Suffolk County Council Archaeological Service identified the site as archaeologically sensitive due to early occupation deposits located in this part of the River Stour valley. Previous archaeological works in the vicinity identified occupation of Iron Age or possible early Saxon date. During the course of this evaluation, which was targeted on the new development foundations, a number of dump deposits were identified. These were all modern in date and relate to terracing of the site during the construction of the leisure centre and associated football pitches and tennis courts during the 1970's Project status: Complete Yes, Validated Yes Previous/Future Work: Previous No, Future Not known Associated Identifiers: Museum accession ID HVH 063 Sitecode HHEW07 Related HER No. HVH 063 HER event no.
