Site Event/Activity record ESF21453 - Evaluation, St John's Close, Mildenhall

This report presents the findings of an archaeological evaluation conducted by NPS Archaeology ahead of the proposed development at the St John's Close Mildenhall, Suffolk. The work was commissioned by Oxbury and Company for Orbit Housing. The evaluation consisted of four trenches all c.2m wide. Trenches 2 and 4 were c.31m long, the length of Trench 1 was reduced to c.25m due to the presence of a tree and Trench 3 was extended correspondingly to c.36m. The Trenches were positioned within the area of the proposed development. No archaeological evidence was present in Trenches 1-3. Trench 4 contained a modern wall and a possible chalk surface or dump.
