Digital Archive from an Archaeological Evaluation and Excavation at Bury Eastern Relief Road, Rushbrooke with Rougham, Suffolk, 2016-2017

This collection comprises site images, reports, spreadsheet data, and databases from an archaeological evaluation and subsequent excavations at the Bury Eastern Relief Road, Rushbrooke with Rougham, Suffolk. The works were undertaken by Suffolk Archaeology (now Cotswold Archaeology). The works were undertaken in March 2016 to September 2017. The trenched evaluation revealed a moderate density of archaeological features, primarily ditches and pits of Iron Age and Late Iron Age/early Roman date, and an area of likely late medieval and post-medieval activity. Based on these results, archaeological excavations in four separate areas along the proposed route were undertaken. Excavation of these four sites revealed features from the prehistoric period onwards. Features included, but were not limited to a dense concentration of Mid to Late Iron Age ditches and pits, a possible Late Iron Age/Early Roman roundhouse, two possible Late Iron Age/Early Roman four-post structures, and a trackway.
