Site Event/Activity record ESF21262 - Monitoring - Lincoln Road East, RAF Mildenhall

Archaeological monitoring was carried out during the machine stripping for the layout of a replacement road surface at Lincoln Road. The road strip was up to 24m wide, but was generally around 7m wide and approximately 260m long. The area was stripped with a mechanical digger. During the stripping it became apparently that the archaeological levels were located significantly below the road surface. This was confirmed by the excavation of two test pits. A single quarry feature was identified (S1). Project status: Complete Yes, Validated Yes Previous/Future Work: Previous No, Future Not known Associated Identifiers: HER event no.
