Three excavation areas were opened within the site totalling 18,555sqm (1.85ha) in area and comprising of: " Area 1 (6,952sqm): located to investigate medieval settlement remains of 12th-14th century date, potentially representing settlement shift and continuation from Area 2; " Area 2 (6,061sqm): located to investigate medieval settlement remains of 11th-12th century date; " Area 3 (5,542sqm): located to investigate Middle Iron Age settlement remains. The excavation areas were positioned to investigate features recorded by the previous geophysical surveys and trial trench evaluations. A borehole standpipe accessed for monitoring groundwater was located close to the northern limit of excavation within Area 3. A small area of topsoil and subsoil deposits were left in situ around the standpipe. Heavy rain during machine excavation of the topsoil deposits within Area 1 flooded the site. A strip of topsoil located at the centre north was left in situ to act as a bund to contain the flooded area, with an intention to return and strip the small strip of topsoil once the water had subsided. Following discussions with SCCAS it was agreed the small strip of topsoil could remain in situ. Between January 2020 and November 2020, Cotswold Archaeology (CA) carried out an archaeological excavation on a piece of land west of Thorney Green Road, Stowupland, Suffolk, prior to the construction of a housing-led development on the site. Three excavation areas were opened, and the results confirmed the results of the earlier phases of work. In the north-west corner of the site, prehistoric activity was evident. Here, excavations revealed a large ditch dating to the Middle Iron Age that extended the full width of the excavation area. To the north of this, two partial and superimposed penannular gullies represented the remains of a roundhouse, associated with pits also of Middle Iron Age date. A near complete pottery vessel was recovered from a short ditch. Early Roman (and probably Late Iron Age) activity of the 1st and 2nd centuries AD was confirmed in the north-east corner of the site. Dense networks of ditches representing enclosures and field boundaries were identified, as were occasional pits and other discrete features. Closely spaced systems of parallel narrow ditches/trenches were encountered across the north of the site, and these have been interpreted as cultivation trenches. The pottery assemblage recovered mainly comprised cooking and storage jar forms with some f...
