Site Images and GIS Data from an Archaeological Evaluation at Novotel, Grey Friars Road, Ipswich, Suffolk, November 2019

This collection comprises site images and GIS data from an archaeological evaluation within the grounds of Novotel, Greyfriars Road, Ipswich, Suffolk. The works were undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology in November 2019. Two of the test pits reached archaeological levels, with a series of cut features identified in Pit 1 and late Saxon pottery recovered from the base of Pit 2. Pits 3 and 4 were hand excavated to a depth of 1.2m but did not extend below modern deposits. The open areas and finds assemblage were too small to make any meaningful interpretation, however the fieldwork demonstrated the survival of Late Saxon/Early medieval archaeology at a depth of c.1.3m-1.5m. Similar deposits could also survive below the limit of excavation in Pits 3 and 4.
