Digital Archive from an Archaeological Evaluation at New Street, Stradbroke, Suffolk, September-October 2020

This collection comprises images, reports, and site records from an archaeological evaluation on the land south of New Street, Stradbroke, Suffolk. This work was undertaken by Pre-Construct Archaeology Ltd. in September and October 2020. The earliest dated features were two shallow, intercutting pits from which were recovered four small sherds of pottery. The sherds had no diagnostic features, but their fabric suggests that they may be Early Saxon in date although the similarity in the fabric type to some Iron Age pottery fabrics precludes definitive dating of the pottery. There was also a system of small ditches possibly associated with an east to west-aligned ditch to the south. Finally, there was a large post-medieval ditch that corresponds with a boundary shown on the 1840 Tithe map of the area, bordering the eastern edge of a former lane that once linked New Street with Wilby Road.
