Site Event/Activity record ESF21832 - Monitoring, St Gregory's V C P School, Sudbury

Ground works at St Gregory V CP School were monitored by an archaeologist from Suffolk County Archaeological Service (SCCAS) over three visits between July and August 2012. The monitoring observed the excavation of a footings trench for a classroom extension to the rear of the school and a cable trench for a new motorised gate towards the north-west corner of the development area. The monitoring identified a single feature in the cable trench that contained a small assemblage of late medieval pottery, animal bone, roof tile and an iron cupped candle holder. The monitoring also established that the development area had suffered a heavy degree of truncation - particularly within the footing trench area - with modern deposits directly over the natural geology or archaeological deposits where present.
