2016. Test pitting. A test pit survey throughout Clavering following the main high street, Pelham Road, totalling 12 excavation pits to establish where the localised Bronze Age, medieval, and post-medieval activity was through finds retrieved. Test Pit 2: Test pit two was excavated to a depth of 0.6m, with half the test pit excavated further to 0.68m. Natural was not found, but due to time constraints, excavations were halted at this depth and the test pit was recorded and backfilled. The presence of five possible pieces of worked flint were also found through the lower layers of the test pit and are likely to be later prehistoric in date and perhaps part of wider settlement activity to the south of the River Stort, although analysis by a lithics expert would be needed to confirm this. <1> See also: <2>
