Description
Evaluation, 2023
Archaeological evaluation on land to the south of Michael Wright Way, Great Bentley revealed an undated ditch and a natural silt patch. Although undated, the ditch may relate to field systems found during previous excavations surrounding the site. These features dated largely from the Late Iron Age/early Roman through to the medieval and post-medieval periods. The scarcity of remains from this site suggests that it is located away from the main focus of activity.
A single small sherd (5g) of Colchester-type ware (fabric F21A) dating to around 1200-1550 was also recovered but was unrelated to the feature.
