Summary

This Desk-Based Assessment has set the location of a proposed farm reservoir

development within its immediate archaeological landscape through an examination of

the Suffolk Historic Environment Record, the National Heritage List for England, and

available cartographic sources and aerial photography.

In general the topographic location of the site, and the known archaeology and history

of the area, suggests that it has low potential for containing archaeological remains of

prehistoric, Roman, medieval or post-medieval date. Any archaeological remains which

lie within the site are likely to be of local, possibly regional importance, and in a state of

moderate or good preservation, but at a depth which will mean they will be significantly

impacted upon by the proposed development.

It is recommended that the client should consult with the Local Planning Authority, St

Edmundsbury Borough Council, and its advisor Suffolk County Council Archaeological

Service, at the earliest possible opportunity to determine if further archaeological

investigation of the site is likely to be required prior to submission of a planning

application.

1. Introduction 1.1. Project Background This archaeological desk-based assessment (DBA) has been prepared by SACIC for

Miles Water Engineering Ltd in advance of a potential planning application for the

creation of a new farm reservoir and any consultation with Suffolk County Council

Archaeological Service (SCCAS), the Archaeological Advisor to the local planning

authority (LPA) St Edmundsbury Borough Council.

1.2. Site description The subject of this DBA covers an area of approximately c.1.5ha, centred at TL 7641

6234, in the parish of Denham, Suffolk (Fig. 1), 1km to the south of the settlement core

of Barrow. The site lies within a landscape of open arable farmland, interspersed with

woodland, and straddles a ditched and hedged boundary between two fields.

The site is located on an area of high ground, c.90-95m above Ordnance Datum. The

localised topography of the area is of undulating, rolling countryside. The site geology

consists of chalky till of the Lowestoft Formation overlying chalk bedrock of the Lewes

Nodular Chalk Formation, Seaford Chalk Formation, Newhaven Chalk Formation and

Culver Chalk Formation (British Geological Survey website).

1.3. Scope and aims of the report In accordance with the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF), the Government’s

guidance on archaeology and planning, the aim of the DBA is to determine as far as

reasonably practicable from the available archaeological and heritage sources the

previous landuse and history of the site, the nature of the known archaeological or other

heritage assets within its environs, the potential archaeological assets of the site, and

the potential impact of the proposed development on such assets.

The sources examined by the DBA include the Suffolk Historic Environment Record

(HER), the National Heritage List for England (NHLE), reports of any archaeological

investigations, all readily available cartographic and documentary sources held by

Suffolk Archaeology or the Suffolk Record Office, and aerial photography available

Page 10: Land at Denham Vicarage Farmgrey-lit-suffolkarchaeology.s3.amazonaws.com/2016_048.pdf · Land at Denham Vicarage Farm . Denham, Suffolk. Client: Miles Water Engineering Ltd . Date:

online.

In order to set the site in its archaeological context a Study Area of a 1km radius from its

centre was selected for examination (Figs. 2-4).

In particular the DBA aims to:

• Collate and assess the existing information regarding archaeological and historical

remains within and adjacent to the site.

• Identify any known archaeological sites which are of sufficient potential importance

to leave an outright constraint on development (i.e. those that will need preservation

in situ).

• Assess the potential for unrecorded archaeological sites within the application area.

• Assess the likely impact of past land uses (such as ploughing, quarrying etc.) and

the potential quality of preservation of below ground deposits, and where possible to

model those deposits.

1.4. Methods The following methods of data collection have been used to meet the aims of the DBA: • A search for designated heritage assets such as Scheduled Monuments, Listed

Buildings and Conservation Areas that lie within the Study Area and may have a line

of sight to the site was carried out on the NHLE and Suffolk HER. A summary is

presented in section 2.1 below.

• A search of the Suffolk HER for any records within 1km from the centre of the site

(TL 7641 6234), and an examination of the literature with reference to archaeological

investigations within the Study Area. The results are described and mapped in

section 2.2 below, and presented in full in Appendix 1.

• Examination of the Suffolk Historic Landscape Characterisation Map (Version 3,

2008) and the Suffolk Landscape Character Assessment website. The results are

described and mapped in section 2.3 below,

• An assessment of readily available cartographic sources through a visit to the

Page 11: Land at Denham Vicarage Farmgrey-lit-suffolkarchaeology.s3.amazonaws.com/2016_048.pdf · Land at Denham Vicarage Farm . Denham, Suffolk. Client: Miles Water Engineering Ltd . Date:

Suffolk Record Office and the commissioning of a collated report of 19th and 20th

century Ordnance Survey mapping. The results are presented in section 2.4 below,

with the Ordnance Survey mapping in Appendix 2.

• A brief examination of aerial photography of the area available on the Cambridge

University Collection of Aerial Photographs website and Google Earth. The results

are presented in section 2.5 below.

1.5. Legislative frameworks

1.5.1. National legislation or policy

National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) Paragraphs 128 and 129 of the NPPF (which replaced Planning Policy Statement 5 in

March 2012, which in turn had replaced various guidance such as Planning Policy

Guidance 15 and 16) provides guidance for planning authorities, developers and others

on planning and the historic environment.

128. In determining applications, local planning authorities should require an applicant

to describe the significance of any heritage assets affected, including any contribution

made by their setting. The level of detail should be proportionate to the assets’

importance and no more than is sufficient to understand the potential impact of the

proposal on their significance. As a minimum the relevant historic environment record

should have been consulted and the heritage assets assessed using appropriate

expertise where necessary. Where a site on which development is proposed includes or

has the potential to include heritage assets with archaeological interest, local planning

authorities should require developers to submit an appropriate desk-based assessment

and, where necessary, a field evaluation.

129. Local planning authorities should identify and assess the particular significance of

any heritage asset that may be affected by a proposal (including by development

affecting the setting of a heritage asset) taking account of the available evidence and

any necessary expertise. They should take this assessment into account when

considering the impact of a proposal on a heritage asset, to avoid or minimise conflict

between the heritage asset’s conservation and any aspect of the proposal.

Scheduled Monuments The Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Areas Act of 1979 statutorily protects

Scheduled Monuments (SMs) and their settings as nationally important sites.

Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas

Listed Buildings are protected under the Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas Act of

1990. This ensures that listed buildings are given statutory protection against

unauthorised demolition, alteration and extension. Buildings are listed because they are

of special architectural importance, due to their architectural design, decoration and

craftsmanship; also because they are of historical interest. This includes buildings that

illustrate important aspects of the nation's social, economic, cultural or military history or

have a close association with nationally important persons or events.

Conservation Areas are designated for their special architectural and historic interest,

usually by the local planning authority. Any alterations to properties, structures, trees

etc. in a conservation area may need permission from the local planning authority.

Registered Parks and Gardens

A Registered Park or Garden is a site included on the 'Register of Historic Parks and

Gardens of special historic interest in England’ which is maintained by English Heritage.

It currently identifies over 1,600 sites assessed to be of national importance.

Registration is a ‘material consideration’ in the planning process, meaning that planning

authorities must consider the impact of any proposed development on the special

character of a registered park or garden.

1.5.2. Local policy and guidance The St Edmundsbury Local Plan Core Strategy Policy CS2 (adopted 2010) for sustainable

development states that a ‘high quality, sustainable environment will be achieved by

designing and incorporating measures appropriate to the nature and scale of

development’ and that one aspect of this is ‘conserving or enhancing the historic

environment including archaeological resources’.

Chapter 4 of the West Suffolk Joint Development Management Policies Document

(February 2015) details local policy towards the natural and historic environment. Of

particular relevance are policies DM13 (Landscape features), DM15 (listed buildings),

DM17 (Conservation Areas), and DM20 (Archaeology).

DM20 Development will not be acceptable if it would have a material adverse effect on

Scheduled Ancient Monuments or other sites of archaeological importance, or their

settings.

On sites of archaeological interest, or of potential archaeological importance, provided

there is no overriding case against development, planning permission will be granted

subject to satisfactory prior arrangements being agreed.

This will include one or a combination of the following:

• an appropriate desk based assessment and/or field evaluation of the archaeological interest or significance prior to determination.

• the preservation of archaeological remains in situ; • the adequate recording of the heritage asset by archaeological investigation

before development commences (preservation by record).

2. Study Area search results 2.1. Designated assets A search for designated heritage assets, such as Scheduled Monuments, Registered

Parks or Gardens, Conservation Areas and Listed Buildings was carried out on the

Suffolk HER and on the NHLE website.

2.1.1. Scheduled Monuments There is one Scheduled Monument within the Study Area, 800m to the south-west (Fig.

2). Its entry on the NHLE is summarised below:

Moated site at Denham Hall. NHLE No. 1019803. ‘The monument includes a medieval moated site at Denham Hall which is situated

150m to the south east of St Mary's parish church.’

‘The moated site includes a rectangular island which measures 136m NNW to SSE by a

maximum of 56m ENE to WSW. The island is surrounded by a water-filled moat

measuring up to 15m wide. Access across the moat is via two causeways; the

causeway across the NNW arm has traces of brick revetting, and it is probable that it

contains the remains of a brick bridge representing the original access to the island. The

causeway across the WSW arm is thought to be a more recent addition.’

‘Denham Hall, a timber framed Listed Building Grade II (see below), which dates from

the early 16th century, is situated on the NNW half of the island…. A ruined brick

structure and associated brick revetting, which stands on the very northern corner of the

island overlooking the moat on its NNW and ENE sides, is included in the scheduling.

The structure, which is thought to date to the late 16th or early 17th century… is

believed to have been a banqueting house… linked to the north corner of Denham Hall

by a brick wall along the WNW side of the island. This wall is also Listed Grade II and is

thought to post-date both structures.’

2.1.2. Registered Parks or Gardens There are no Registered Parks within the Study Area.

2.1.3. Conservation Areas There are no Conservation Areas lie within the Study Area.

2.1.4. Listed Buildings

A search carried out on the Suffolk HER and on the NHLE website has shown that the

Study Area contains six Listed Buildings, located to the north, east and south-west (Fig.

2). The Suffolk HER data supplied also included entries for Denham Priory (1031413)

and Denham Abbots (1376884). The location of these entries on the HER however is

incorrect, the two properties actually lie c.1.6km to the south-west, outside of the Study

Area, as shown on the NHLE.

Brief summaries of the NHLE entries for the six buildings are given below:

Denham End Farmhouse, Denham Lane. NHLE No. 1031414 Grade II listed mid-16th century house. Altered and extended early 17th and early 19th

century. Timber framed, rendered with a pantiled roof.

Denham Vicarage Farmhouse, Barrow Road. NHLE No. 1376847 Grade II listed house dating to c.1840, formerly vicarage. Late 18th century rear range;

double-pile plan. Painted gault brick with flat pilasters up to eaves; hipped slated roof.

Wolfe Hall, Barrow Hill. NHLE No. 1031441 Grade II listed early 16th century house, extended later 16th century. T-plan,

lobby-entrance. 2 floors and attics. Timber-framed, rendered, with long-jettied

upper floor at rear and jettied attic floor to cross-wing.

Church of St Mary. NHLE No. 1285509 Grade II* listed medieval parish church with c.1605 chapel; restored 1846.

Barn 50 yards west of Denham Hall. NHLE No. 1285481 Grade II listed barn dating to the early 17th century. 4 bays, 1 aisle on south side.

Timber-framed, weather-boarded; hipped asbestos roof.

2.2. Historic Environment Record search The results of the search of the Suffolk HER was provided by Ben Donnelly-Symes

(SCCAS). This identified a total of eighteen Monument records within 1km of the site

centre, ranging from the Bronze Age to post-medieval periods (Fig. 3). The results of

the search are summarised by period below and provided in full in Appendix 1.

The search also identified three Events that relate directly to the Monument entries. Two

are phases of archaeological evaluation and excavation in advance of a residential

development on land on the southern outskirts of Barrow, BRR 052, c.650m to the

north, with the third being an outline record for a recent or ongoing geophysical survey

(BRR 060) to the north-east of that site.

It should be noted that the HER only represents the archaeological material that has

been reported, this is the ‘known’ resource. It is not therefore, a complete reflection of

the whole archaeological resource of this area because other sites may remain

undiscovered; this is considered as the ‘potential’ resource.

Bronze Age (BC 2,350 - BC 801)

The approximate findspot of a polished stone, perforated, axe hammer (DEM 001) is

recorded c.200m to the north-east of the site. A pit of Bronze Age date was identified

during the fieldwork at BRR 052.

Roman (43 AD – 409 AD)

A scatter of pottery sherds (BRR 009), mainly grey wares and an amphora handle have

been recorded 900m to the south-east. Residual Roman tegula were recovered from a

later pit in the excavations at BRR 052.

Medieval (AD 1066 – AD 1539)

The fieldwork at BRR 052 identified some evidence of activity in the 13th-15th century

with two pits being dated to this period and possibly associated with other undated pits

and boundary ditches.

The listed building of St Mary’s Church (DEM 004) is recorded in the HER, as is the

Page 19: Land at Denham Vicarage Farmgrey-lit-suffolkarchaeology.s3.amazonaws.com/2016_048.pdf · Land at Denham Vicarage Farm . Denham, Suffolk. Client: Miles Water Engineering Ltd . Date:

Scheduled moated site of Denham Hall (DEM 002).

Two further medieval sites are cited as being identified from a map of 1597 (see section

2.4 below). The first is the triangular outline of the medieval ‘Barroughe Greene’ (BRR 014). The broad outline of the green, albeit now dissected by roads and partially

occupied by buildings, is still visible within modern Barrow, 1km to the north. The

second is a medieval manor site, c.500m to the east (BRR 013) on the west side of the

Barrow Hill road.

An outline record (BRR 044), titled ‘market’ is situated in the fields to the south of

Denham End, 750m to the north of the site.

Post-medieval (AD 1539 – AD 1900)

Post-medieval pits and ditches have been recorded in the archaeological evaluation and

excavations at BRR 052.

The listed barn to the west of Denham Hall is recorded as DEM 009 and two former

buildings (DEM 025 and DEM 026) noted on the 1597 map are recorded in the HER as

being of post-medieval date. These consist of two houses to the south of Green Farm

on the eastern side of Barrow Hill road, 600m to the north-east.

Undated

There are four areas of Ancient Woodland within the Study Area. These consist of

Hockerhill Wood, 700m to the west (DEM 005), Wilsummer Wood, 900m to the north-

east (BRR 017), Denham Thicks South, 100m to the south (DEM 006) and Denham

Thicks North, 600m to the south (DEM 007). Substantial parts of both the Denham

Thicks areas of woodland are now arable farmland.

An undated square enclosure, possibly a moat (DEM 003) is recorded within a now

arable part of the Denham Thicks North woodland, c.450m to the south-west of the site.

Undated cropmarks of a possible large rectangular building (DEM 008) are recorded in

a field to the north of Denham End, c.900m to the north.

The BRR 052 fieldwork has also identified a number of undated pits and ditches that

are presumably related to the identified phases of Bronze Age, medieval and post-

medieval activity.

2.3. Landscape Characterisation The Suffolk Historic Landscape Characterisation Map (Version 3, 2008) supplied by the

Suffolk Historic Environment Record defines the site and much of the surrounding

farmland in the immediate vicinity as Pre-18th century enclosure: Random fields

(Fig. 4). This category ‘refers to land that was enclosed into fields for agriculture before

1700…these earlier landscapes are of great historic significance…’ and are ‘landscapes

made up of fields that have an irregular pattern (i.e. without any dominant axis). Many

were in existence by the medieval period, but could be earlier. Boundaries usually take

the form of species-rich hedges (normally coppiced not laid) with associated ditches and

banks. Areas with this field pattern are probably some of our earliest farming

landscapes.’

Other historic landscape categories within the Study Area include Woodland (which

correspond to the extant areas of Ancient Woodland noted above), Post-1950 agricultural landscapes with boundary loss from either irregular co-axial fields (to the

southeast) or random fields (to the northwest), Pre-18th century enclosure: Rectilinear fields to the west and Pre-18th century enclosure: Irregular co-axial fields to the east of Barrow Hill.

The Suffolk Landscape Character Assessment (www.suffolklandscape.org.uk) classes

the site and near all of the Study Area as Undulating Estate Farmlands, which is

described as an undulating arable landscape with parklands plantations and ancient

woodland. Key aspects of this character type are listed as:

• Undulating arable landscape • Organic field pattern rationalised by estate ownership • Oak, ash and field maple as hedgerow trees • Complex arrangements of plantations especially in the north • Ancient woodlands • Landscape parks and ornamental tree species • Substantial open areas created for airfields and by post WWII agricultural improvement • Dispersed settlement pattern of loosely clustered villages, hamlets and isolated

farmsteads especially in the north • Settlements more clustered and less dispersed in the south • Rich stock of mediaeval and Tudor timber-framed and brick buildings and moated sites • A landscape of well wooded farmland in many places often with a well kept appearance

2.4. Cartographic study A visit to the Suffolk Record Office on 30/06/2016 proved unsuccessful, with Tithe and

Enclosure mapping for the parish not being available or catalogued. Despite assistance

from Record Office staff the ‘Map of the Manor of Barroughe Hall et Fellons, 1597

(1779 copy), SRO(B), 862/3’ which is cited by the Suffolk HER as depicting BRR 013,

BRR 014, BRR 017 etc. could not be identified or produced.

Ordnance Survey mapping from 1883 to 1981 at 1:10,000 or 1:10,560 scale (Appendix

2) shows that there was minimal change to the landscape within the Study Area from

the late 19th century to 1958, apart from the loss of an area of woodland on the eastern

Page 23: Land at Denham Vicarage Farmgrey-lit-suffolkarchaeology.s3.amazonaws.com/2016_048.pdf · Land at Denham Vicarage Farm . Denham, Suffolk. Client: Miles Water Engineering Ltd . Date:

side of Denham Thicks between 1883 and 1905 and the establishment of large orchard

areas to the east of Denham Hall and south of Wolf Hall. From 1958 to 1981 this

changed, with a considerable loss of field boundaries being apparent across the Study

Area creating a reduced number of larger fields. This included the removal of a

boundary that formerly crossed the proposed site from north-west to south-east and a

small pond or pit immediately to the north. Other notable changes in this period include

the loss of much of the remaining woodland of Denham Thicks and the infilling of a

gravel pit to the east of the site

2.5. Aerial photographs An online search of the Cambridge University Collection of Aerial Photography

(CUCAP, www.cambridgeairphotos.com/map) shows four images available in the Study

Area. Of these one is available to view online (BHQ31) and is cited as a source in the

Suffolk HER entry for the undated square enclosure, DEM 003, which is clearly visible.

The image does not extend to cover the proposed site.

Google Earth currently displays several aerial photographic surveys of the Study Area

from December 1999 to March 2011. Images dated 1999 and 2000 clearly show several

cropmarks across the Study Area, largely corresponding to field boundaries lost during

the 20th century including the one that passes through the proposed site from north-

west to south-east. Also visible as cropmarks are the DEM 003 enclosure and the

former pond or quarry pit that lay immediately adjacent to the proposed site.

3. Assessment of impacts and effects

3.1. The archaeological potential of the site

3.1.1. Prehistoric and Roman Evidence of prehistoric or Roman activity in the Study Area is limited to a single Bronze

Age findspot and the excavation of a Bronze Age feature, both to the north of the

proposed development, a Roman findspot to the south-east and residual Roman

material at BRR 052. While this limited evidence may partially be due to a general

absence of any archaeological fieldwork, fieldwalking or metal-detecting surveys in the

area it does appear to suggest a genuine lack of past activity in the vicinity, and that any

early activity will have likely been of a low-level and widely dispersed.

The present evidence therefore suggests that the PDA has a low potential for containing

hitherto unknown archaeological deposits of prehistoric and Roman date, and that any

such deposits would most likely be of local, or possibly regional, significance.

3.1.2. Anglo-Saxon, medieval and post-medieval There is no direct evidence of any sort for activity in the Study Area during the Anglo-

Saxon period, although it is probable that the settlement sites of Barrow, Denham Hall

and Denham End may have an Anglo-Saxon origin.

While the Suffolk HER notes several former isolated buildings, a manor site and an

excavation site containing evidence of medieval and post-medieval settlement

extending south from Barrow along the Barrow Hill road there is little to suggest that the

site itself has been anything but open farmland, or possibly woodland, during these

periods. It should be noted however that other possible former medieval occupation

sites may exist, as suggested by the undated enclosure DEM 003 to the south-west of

the site which is thought to be a possible moat.

Much of the farmland in the Study Area is classified as pre-18th century enclosure and it

seems likely that many of the extant field boundaries, and those noted as having been

removed, date back to the medieval or early post-medieval period. This includes the two

boundaries (one extant, one lost) that cross the site itself, and the former pond.

The present evidence therefore suggests that, other than the two ditches and pond, the

site has a low potential for producing archaeological deposits of medieval or post-

medieval date, and that any such deposits would likely be of local significance.

3.2. Potential level of archaeological preservation within the site The site’s past history as arable farmland suggests that any archaeological deposits are

likely to be moderately or well-preserved below modern ploughsoils and the limits of

agricultural truncation. There is no evidence to suggest any other past activity will have

caused significant disturbance below the likely base of the ploughsoil at c.0.4m below

ground level. The extent to which agricultural activity may have caused truncation to the

upper levels of any archaeological horizon cannot be determined but is perhaps unlikely

to be significant, and deposits could survive in similar fashion to that seen at BRR 052.

3.3. Potential impact of development on the archaeological resource The construction of a new pond or reservoir is likely to have a significant detrimental

impact upon any archaeological remains that may exist. As discussed above any

archaeological horizon is likely to survive beneath modern ploughsoil deposits,

potentially from an estimated depth of c.0.4m below ground level, and it is assumed that

the proposed groundworks will be to a far greater depth. Any archaeological deposits,

including the two ditches/boundaries, are likely to be removed in their entirety across

the development footprint.

3.4. Potential impact of development on other heritage assets The proposed development will affect a relatively small area set within a landscape of

open arable farmland but it will represent another change to the historic field layout. A

short section of the surviving boundary will be wholly removed, adding to the general

pattern of boundary loss in the area since the mid/late 20th century.

The development is unlikely to have any direct or indirect impact upon any other

heritage assets such as the surrounding Listed Buildings or the Scheduled Monument of

Denham Hall, all of which lie at a distance of at least 700m.

4. Mitigation measures The site is thought to have low potential for archaeological deposits of prehistoric and

Roman date, medieval or post-medieval date. These are likely to be of local, possibly

regional importance, in a state of moderate or good preservation, and vulnerable to

disturbance from the proposed development.

As the site has not been subject to any previous systematic archaeological

investigation, the actual presence, nature and state of preservation of any such

archaeological deposits is unknown. However at present there are currently no grounds

to suggest that refusal of planning permission will be needed in order to achieve

preservation in situ of any designated heritage assets such as Scheduled Monuments,

or of important but non-designated heritage assets such as known or unknown

archaeological sites.

National and local guidance recommends that potential archaeological sites are

evaluated prior to the determination of any planning application to assess the nature

and significance of any archaeological deposits present. Such investigations can then

enable an LPA’s archaeological advisor, in this case SCCAS, to make an informed

decision regarding heritage assets in respect of any planning application and determine

the need and scope for refusal of development to provide either preservation in situ of

important archaeological deposits, or for the design of a suitable mitigation strategy,

such as archaeological excavation and preservation by record, which can be imposed

by conditions on planning consent.

The site’s recent history and present land-use means that both non-intrusive

(fieldwalking, metal-detecting and geophysical surveys) and intrusive (trial trench

evaluation) investigation techniques may be suitable methods for further investigation.

Until such work is undertaken it is not possible to define the full extent of archaeological

mitigation measures that may be required on a site, nor to calculate the likely cost and

time implications of such mitigation.

5. Conclusions/Recommendations

This DBA has set the location of a proposed farm reservoir development within its

immediate archaeological landscape through an examination of the Suffolk HER, the

National Heritage List for England, and available cartographic sources and aerial

photography.

In general the topographic location of the site, and the known archaeology and history

of the area, suggests that it has low potential for containing archaeological remains of

prehistoric, Roman, medieval or post-medieval date. Any archaeological remains which

lie within the site are likely to be of local, possibly regional importance, and in a state of

moderate to good preservation, but at a depth which will mean they will be significantly

impacted upon by the proposed development. It is recommended that the client should

consult with the Local Planning Authority, St Edmundsbury Borough Council, and its

advisor Suffolk County Council Archaeological Service, at the earliest possible

opportunity to determine if further archaeological investigation of the site is likely to be

required prior to submission of a planning application.

Description and Sources

Moat. Long, rectangular, wet, occupied. Adjoins church. Main causeway entrance on N side, with another on the W side. Traces of brick revetting along the edge of the N causeway and along the eastern half of the N edge of the moated island. At the NE corner, bonded into the brick revetting, there is a small one-cell brick structure with stone quoins. This is now roofless. In the N wall there is a stone window with ovolo mouldings of early 17th century date. The brickwork is laid in English bond and is also probably 17th century. This is probably a banqueting house or gazebo (S2). The main house has an early 19th century brick facade with a pedimented doorway. This conceals a timber-framed structure of early 16th century date, extended in the late 16th century, the late 17th century and provided with a rear wing in the early 19th century. A fragment of a jettied cross wing of early 16th century still survives. Late 16th century chimney with hexagonal flues (S3). Manor was acquired by the Heigham family of Higham Hall in Gazeley in 1481, but was probably not used by them as a residence until 1548 when it was settled on Thomas Heigham on his marriage to Martha Jermyn, he died in 1557 and his widow, Martha, lived here until her death in 1593. S H A Hervey suggested that Thomas or Martha may have built the hall (S4). Martha was succeeded by her daughter, Susan, and her husband, Sir Edward Lewkenor. They both died in 1605. Their son, Sir Edward, died in 1618 aged 32. His funeral sermon mentions that `he reered up one building near his own hous, furnished it with a large table to the onely use and releafe of the poore, for at his great expences' (S4). This could be the banqueting house on the edge of the moat. The last Edward Lewkenor died in 1634 aged 21, leaving an only daughter, Mary, who married Sir Horatio Townshend, 1st Viscount Townshend of Raynham in Norfolk in 1658 and inherited the property. The Hall probably became a farmhouse

PROJECT DETAILSIn March and April 2014 archaeological Solutions Ltd (AS) carried out an archaeological excavation at Barrow Hill,Barrow, Suffolk (NGR TL 7655 6300). The excavation was commissioned by Hopkins Homes Ltd and was undertaken in advance of the proposed construction of a residential development. It was required to comply with a planning condition attached to planning permission for the residential development of the site (Ref. SE/12/1535/FUL), based on advice from Suffolk County Council Archaeological Service Conservation Team. The excavation comprised the controlled strip, map and excavation of the entrance/access roads in the eastern part of the site - the entrance section c.65m long. And the excavation of an area centred on the Early Bronze Age feature (Pit F1019) identified in Evaluation Trench 19. The excavation recorded medieval (13th-15th century) and post-medieval/modern activity. Area 1 centred on Pit F1019 (Tr.19) and revealed a medieval pit (F2038), a modern pit (F2022) and four undated pits (F2018, F2020, F2032 and F2034). To the east (Area 2) undated boundary ditches were recorded (F2003, F2006, F2008 and F2024) were revealed. A group of three intercutting pits (F2010, F2014 and F2016) comprised two features modern date with the earliest (F2014) containing material to indicate that it was of medieval (13th-15th century) date.Project status: Complete Yes, Validated YesPrevious/Future Work: Previous Yes, Future No
