Site Event/Activity record ESF21126 - Excavation at Moneypot Hill Farm, Redgrave, 2007

Excavation was undertaken on the site of a former timber framed cottage that had been irreparably damaged by fire in Feb 2006. The building had been constructed in two main stages in the mid and late 16th century, with a 17th century chimney insertion and extension in the 18th century. Around the turn of the 19th century part of the original mid 16th century building was demolished. On excavation the archaeological evidence of the mid-late 16th century was found to be ephemeral and without prior knowledge would have been impossible to interpret, with all evidence occurring within the 16th century topsoil. No evidence for a earlier medieval building on the site was recovered.
