Summary A two day fieldwalking project was undertaken as part of the Managing a Masterpiece, an HLF funded project, in March 2012. A total of thirty-two volunteers walked a field NW of Stratford St Mary (in Higham parish). The field chosen has a number of undated cropmarks and the aim of the project was to try to provide evidence to help suggest potential dates for the underlying archaeology. The most significant finds were a small number of Iron Age pottery sherds and a scattering of worked flints of probable Iron Age date. Medieval and post-medieval pottery was found across the site, as was a large quality of Ceramic Building Material (CBM - brick and tile), which may have come from earlier buildings in the SE corner of the site or from 17th century buildings to the west and north-east of the field.

1. Introduction Two days were spent fieldwalking in Stratford St Mary on 3rd and 4th March 2012. The field actually lies within the parish of Higham at TM 0396 3509; the eastern edge of the field follows the parish boundary between Higham and Stratford St Mary. Higham Hall and the church are situated close to the west end of the field slightly removed from the centre of the village. A church is mentioned in the Domesday Book but the present building dates from about the 13th century. The field is on a north-west to south-east orientation, on a slight south-east facing slope and lies on the edge of the floodplain of the River Stour. There was a noticeable large hollow in the south-east corner of the field, said to be the site of an extraction pit and later a plant nursery(?) captured on an aerial photograph in 1945. The early Ordnance Survey maps show a footpath running diagonally across the field joining the two village centres. The field was primarily chosen for fieldwalking because of the number of undated cropmarks, identified from aerial photographs, recorded on it. The cropmarks which suggest ring-ditches and enclosures are part of a landscape of such monuments, including a cursus, which follow the north edge of the Stour valley just above the floodplain. It was hoped that the fieldwalking results would provide valuable evidence to date and interpret some of these. The project was hosted and funded by Managing the Masterpiece and was carried out by staff from Suffolk County Council Archaeological Service and thirty-two volunteers from the local community. Permission to walk the field was kindly given by the landowner Mr Gurney. 1

2. Methodology At the time of the fieldwalking the field had been ploughed and weathered. The conditions on the second day were intermittently wet, with snow in the late afternoon. Prior to the start of the fieldwalking the field surface was noted to be stony, with frequent small abraded pieces of ceramic building material (CBM) on the surface, and several areas of yellow gravelly sand and other soil changes were apparent, indicating that ploughing has disturbed subsoil levels. The field was divided into 20m grid squares, marked by flagged canes and numbered alpha-numerically (Fig. 2). 2-3 people walked each square for exactly 10 minutes. All finds were collected, bagged and labelled using the HER code HGM 023 and the grid square number. The fieldwalking took place in the morning and early afternoon of each day. The field was metal detected by two experienced detectorists and finds were located using a RTK GPS. Finds were taken back to Stratford Village Hall and nonmetal finds were washed, identified and recorded during the later afternoon of each day. Ceramic Building Material (CBM) was largely counted and weighed on site and left within the squares; some was taken back to the village hall to speed up the quantification, this was then returned to site to fill potholes in the farm track alongside the south side of the field. Finds information was input onto an Access database and finds plotted using MapInfo. Selected finds distribution plots have been produced to accompany this report. 3

Finds quantification 3.2 Ceramic material (identified by Andy Fawcett) A small assemblage of prehistoric pottery, identified as either Iron Age or probably Iron Age, was recovered with single sherds found in three locations in the south-east corner of the site. The overall amount of prehistoric pottery was bolstered by nine sherds being found in a single location towards the centre of the field, close to two circular cropmarks (Fig. 3), but these were tiny pieces and could not be more closely dated than Middle Bronze Age to Middle Iron Age, and may represent the remains of only one or two fragmented sherds. 5

Roman pottery was found in four locations scattered across the site, in three cases as single sherds, and two sherds in square H6 (Fig. 4). Only one sherd could be dated more closely than Roman, a piece of a samian plate, (form Drg 18/31) from southern Gaul, dated to the late 1st or early 2nd century AD, found in square C18. Fifty-five pieces of Roman CBM were found amongst the vast quantity of later material. Unlike the pottery this was concentrated along the south edge of the field (Fig. 7). It is possible that this pattern reflects some collection bias, but as the CBM was recorded by the same team of SCCAS staff, it probably can't be explained as recording bias. Most pieces were flat, and probably represented fragments of tegula (flanged roof tile), but there were also two small pieces of box flue tile, which are usually associated with hypocaust systems. Lidar data English Heritage Figure 5. Distribution of medieval pottery with cropmarks overlaid. Medieval pottery (Fig. 5) was found across all parts of the site, possibly partly scattered as a result of manuring, but also reflecting the fact that Stratford (and the hamlet of Higham) were thriving medieval settlements. The pottery was dated 7

between 12th and 15th centuries, with no particular concentration or density of anything of a particular date. Notably there was no early medieval pottery found, although a settlement is recorded in Domesday. As is to be expected the majority of ceramic material found was post-medieval and modern (Figs. 6 and 7). The pottery was scattered fairly evenly across the site with a slight concentration in the south-east corner in the area of the large hollow. Lidar data English Heritage Figure 6.

3.4 Glass Fragments of post-medieval and modern glass were also collected, distributed as in Figure 9. Lidar data English Heritage Figure 9. Distribution of glass with cropmarks overlaid. 3.5 Worked flint Seventy-four worked flints were recovered during the fieldwalking. A breakdown by type is included in the table below. There were a further twelve burnt flints collected. Many of the flints were quite crudely struck and hinge fractures and other flaws were visible generally considered to be more typical of later Iron Age rather than earlier prehistoric knapping. There were few tools diagnostic of Neolithic or Bronze Age activity.

Table 6. Worked flint quantities 11

The distribution of the worked flints overlain with the prehistoric pottery is shown in Figure 10. Lidar data English Heritage Figure 10. Distribution of worked flint and prehistoric pottery. 4 Discussion and conclusions Whilst the fieldwalking has not produced definitive dating results for the cropmarks, the presence of twelve (probably representing 4-5) sherds of hand-made Iron Age pottery is significant as such fragile pottery rarely survives long in the ploughsoil and therefore it is likely to have been found close to the location of its original deposition. The flint flake assemblage also is more typical of Iron Age flint working than earlier periods, supporting a suggestion that at least some of these cropmarks may represent Iron Age activity. The prehistoric material tended to occur on the higher parts of the field. There is a small Roman assemblage, possibly attesting to Roman activity in the vicinity. The fragment of a samian plate and the presence of building material including box flue tile suggests both access to imported goods at the end of the first century AD and that a 12

high-status, heated building existed somewhere nearby. However the absence of metal finds, and in particular coins, given the extensive metal detecting carried out may alternatively suggest that the Roman material may have derived from manuring and had been brought onto the site from nearby rather than occupation on the site itself. The finds corroborate the known Roman presence in the area indicated by previous finds of amphora within 400m of the field to the north (SSM 006) and cinerary urns (SSM 007) and the site of a possible Roman bridge (SSM 008) on the line of the main street through Stratford St Mary village. The apparent concentration of the Roman tile along the southern edge of the site is intriguing and not easily explained. The presence of medieval and post-medieval pottery reflects the field s proximity to the two medieval settlements. Higham Church, which dates to at least the 13th century, is situated close to the west end of the field and at the opposing NE corner, next to the crossroads, is the Grade II listed Lowe Hill House, an open hall which dates from the 15th century. There is a slight trend for the material to have been found close to the footpath marked on the early OS map suggesting that this might be a long-standing path between the two villages and linear cropmarks close to this line could also be an expression of this route (Fig. 11). There is a second concentration at the eastern end of the site, an area which is shown as a separate field on the 1904 OS survey. There was a high density of post-medieval CBM and modern brick across the site with concentrations close to the road at the north edge of the field and towards Higham Hall. The present Higham Hall dates from the 17th century but was much altered including the building of a new wing in the early 19th century and it is possible that some of the material collected from west end of the field derives from these alterations. Whilst the material close to the south east corner of the site may be from the demolition of the out buildings, believed to have been a nursery, shown in this area on the 1945 aerial photograph, Lowe Hill House at the NE corner had a chimney in the 17th century and is roofed with tiles of a similar date, so this could be an alternative source of the brick and tile. 13
