PROJECT DETAILS Long Melford, part side garden No 42 High Street (LMD 221, TL 8692 4744) evaluation trenching at this site for a single dwelling development in the garden on the southern side of a small timber framed cottage of probable earlier Post medieval date revealed three ditches. While the largest ditch, which was northwest-southeast aligned and at a right angle to the High Street and came to a butt-end in the trench, contained pottery sherds of 16th-18th century date a smaller, north-south orientated, ditch produced sherds of a slightly earlier, 15th-16th century date. The third ditch was narrow and shallow and did not produce any pottery finds though all three ditches contained fragments of Post medieval roof tile. The pottery groups from the two larger ditches also included three residual medieval coarseware pottery sherds.
