Abstract:		 A desk-based assessment was carried out and suggested that the site had low to moderate potential for deposits relating to the early prehistoric period with both Palaeolithic and Neolithic finds having been recovered in the vicinity. There was no evidence for activity from the Roman period. The early to middle Saxon period might have been represented on site due to development of Ipswich as a leading trading centre at the time. A medieval leper hospital was close to the northern end of Duke Street in an area that would have been the edge of the medieval town. The full extent of the hospital and its cemetery were not known. It was not until the post-medieval period that documentary evidence for dwellings on the site was found in form of the early maps of Ogilby and Pennington both of which illustrated standing buildings. Supposedly it was also the location of an air raid shelter constructed for the use of the workers from the nearby engineering works, but this had not been verified. [Au(adp)]
