Site Event/Activity record ESF19427 - Evaluation, 8 Tower Road, Gisleham

An archaeological evaluation was undertaken in advance of the construction of industrial units and storage and distribution areas, in order to characterise the nature of any surviving archaeological deposits. The site lies some 220m east of a multi-period prehistoric occupation area (CAC 035, CAC 036) and 30m south of a Bronze Age find spot. Three trenches were excavated over the plot and were stripped to the level of the natural subsoil. Substantial modern disturbance was encountered throughout all the trenches masking any potential archaeology. No finds or features were seen in the evaluation.
