Site Event/Activity record ESF22728 - Evaluation, Top Field, Barn Farm, Ipswich Road, Grundisburgh

PROJECT DETAILS Thirteen evaluation trenches were excavated, covering an area of 700m2 and representing approximately 3.5% of the total area of the 2ha development site. The site was on gently sloping ground at approximately 38-44m OD. The natural stratum was glacial till of the Lowestoft Formation. Recent land use was as pasture. The evaluation revealed that the glacial till was sealed by topsoil and turf with an average thickness of 0.25m. No archaeological deposits or features were found. Some modern artefacts were recovered from the topsoil by metal detecting.
