Description
Evaluation was carried out in advance of an agricultural reservoir. Fifty-nine evaluation trenches were excavated covering an area of 3813m2 and representing approximately 3.5% of the total area of the 9.25ha site and significant archaeological remains were recorded in seven of the evaluation trenches, with an apparent focus of activity towards the north-west edge of the site. The site was on gently sloping ground at approximately 54-60m OD. The natural stratum was boulder clay of the Lowestoft Formation. Recent land use was as an arable field.
