Site Event/Activity record ESF22032 - Monitoring, 6 King Street, Mildenhall Museum, Mildenhall

PROJECT DETAILS Ground works at Mildenhall museum, 6 King Street, Mildenhall were monitored by an archaeologist from Suffolk County Archaeological Service (SCCAS) over three visits between the 12th and 14th of November 2012. The monitoring observed the excavation of a footings trench adjacent to the southern edge of the existing building and a single footpad inside the museum. The monitoring identified a single ditch running across the southern end of the development area that contained a small assemblage of 16th century pottery, shell and animal bone. The ditch was observed in two portions of the footings trench and has the potential to be two discrete features with aligning shapes in plan.
