Abstract:		 This report presents the results of a programme of archaeological excavation of 31 1m square 'test pits' in the Suffolk town of Sudbury carried out in autumn 2014. The excavations were funded by public donations with support from The Sudbury Society, The Sudbury History Society and Sudbury Museum Trust. Although producing a thin scatter of worked flint of probable prehistoric date from the area now covered by the centre of the town of Sudbury, the 2014 excavations produced no evidence for prehistoric settlement in this area, or for any activity, in the succeeding Roman period. The excavations did however show that the present settlement probably originated in the early Anglo-Saxon period, and was certainly in existence by the 7th century AD around the church of St Gregory. This settlement continued into the later Anglo-Saxon period, when its increased extent can be traced from the test pit excavations, correlating well with line of the contemporary town boundary inferred from the street plan and previous excavations. The excavations also show how and where the town expanded beyond this boundary in the high medieval period.
