Site Event/Activity record ESF22240 - Evaluation, Land off Canning Road, Lowestoft

PROJECT DETAILS An archaeological evaluation was undertaken on land off Canning Road, Lowestoft between the 9th and 13th September 2013 in relation to a planning application DC/13/0743/RG3 for redevelopment of derelict ground. No finds or features of archaeological relevance were observed, and much of the site appears to have been heavily disturbed in the 20th century, with various phases of quarrying/refuse dumping and possibly use as a railway gravel stockyard being noted. No further archaeological work is recommended as being necessary in order to fulfil the condition placed on this development.
