Grange Farm, Westleton

Between 20th February and 1st March 2023, Oxford Archaeology East conducted a trial trench evaluation at the site of Grange Farm, Westleton in advance of the construction of a reservoir. A total of 28 trenches were excavated in the proposed development area, which covered an area of 3.8ha of agricultural land.
In total four ditches were identified along with seventeen postholes/small pits. Very few dateable finds were recovered from any of these features but at least three of the ditches correspond with a system of field boundaries shown on late 19th century maps of the area, and most of the other features are also likely to relate to post‐medieval to modern agricultural land use.
