Site Event/Activity record ESF19489 - Evaluation, Ilketshall Hall Farm

Evaluation on land at Ilketshall Hall Farm was required to investigate the archaeological potential of the site. Three ditches identified within the trenches may be associated with an early co-axial field system but all finds recovered from their fills were of post-medieval date. Three smaller linear features in Trench 2 appear to be associated with each other and pre-date the larger ditches, containing a small quantity of early medieval pottery. No features contained sufficient evidence to suggest the presence of concentrated occupation in the direct vicinity.
