Urban Farm DB summary

An archaeological evaluation at Simon's Cross, Wickham Market, Suffolk, involved excavating 12 trial trenches ahead of housing construction. The evaluation revealed several undated ditches and pits across the site. While historical maps described the land as "arable," later 20th-century mapping shows the site as allotment gardens, suggesting the features may relate to their layout or drainage, though earlier origins are not ruled out.
