Site Event/Activity record ESF21793 - Archaeological Desk Based Assessment, St Leonards Hospital, Sudbury

An examination of the Suffolk HER, documentary and cartographic search and a site inspection, has set the proposed 0.46ha development area (PDA) within its immediate archaeological landscape. In general the topographic location of the PDA and the known archaeology of the surrounding area suggests that there is a low to moderate potential for encountering archaeological deposits of prehistoric to medieval date within the PDA, but that such deposits are likely to be in a poor to moderate state of preservation due to the PDA's recent landuse. Further archaeological investigation, beginning with a programme of trial trench evaluation is recommended.
