Monument record NDM 057 - Later prehistoric and post-medieval activity at Land Adjacent To 96 Stowmarket Road

2019: The earliest archaeological feature was a Neolithic/Bronze Age pit thought to be located on the northeastern edge of a relic channel cut by the former course of the River Gipping tributary.
The majority of features and finds were of later prehistoric date. It is not clear whether a settlement is located on the site from this period, however, a relic agricultural field system has been discovered.
One large post-medieval pit may prove to be a large rubbish pit or alternatively a steep sided ditch. Further late medieval and post-medieval pottery sherds and tile were recovered from the topsoil layer during the metal detector sweep of the spoil heaps and hand collected during the machining stage.
