Archaeological trial-trenching evaluation at ‘The Keep’, Priory Hill, Kersey, Suffolk: October 2015

The site lies at the northern end of the historic village of Kersey, within a Conservation Zone, and close to the 13th-century Augustinian priory.
Two evaluation trenches on the sites of a proposed cart-lodge and a swimming-pool revealed a modern foundation and three modern pits. Residual medieval sherds were recovered from the topsoil and a modern pit, showing that there may have been some medieval activity on
this site prior to the building of the current house. Peg-tile and coal fragments in the layer sealing natural ground supports the idea that there has been some recent site-levelling here.
