Site Event/Activity record ESF22234 - Monitoring, at Rookery Farm, Mill Common, Westhall, Suffolk

PROJECT DETAILS The monitoring work was carried out during the excavation of an area for the construction of a pool house within a rectilinear moated enclosure (WHL 003). The monitoring revealed a pond that appears on 1880s, 1920s and 1970s Ordnance Survey maps until it was backfilled in the 1980/90s. The pond had been cut through natural deposits. Two distinct fills were recorded: the final 1980/90s fill and an earlier fill dated to the 17th/18th centuries. No other significant archaeological features were recorded.
