Site Event/Activity record ESF22159 - Monitoring, Walsham-le-Willows CEVCP School

PROJECT DETAILS Planning permission was granted for the construction of a new block of classrooms at Walsham Le Willows Primary School, as a part of Suffolk County Councils Schools Organisation Review. This development had a requirement for archaeological monitoring of any intrusive ground works that would be necessary and this report documents the results of that monitoring. A single ditch was identified, orientated approximately east-west along the southern edge of the raft foundation, with a row of small postholes just to the north of it. No dateable evidence was found within any of the features and the ditch and posthole alignment does not appear on any Ordnance Survey Map of the area.
