Site Event/Activity record ESF20062 - Evaluation, The Kingsfield Centre, Chilton Way, Stowmarket

2009: A trial trench evaluation was carried out on the construction of a new building and associated car park at The Kingsfield Centre. A total of four trenches were excavated covering a total of 104.4 square meters. The trenches measured between 9.65m and 21.5m and were excavated to a maximum depth of 0.90m. Truncation of the normal soil profile had occurred during the construction of the Kingsfield centre and much of the area was subsequently built up for the modern grassy areas and playground. A small assemblage of medieval pot and late medieval/post-medieval brick and tile was recovered from a remnant of a plough-soil deposit (S1).
