Abstract:		 Archaeological monitoring of groundworks for replacement services to houses on Thunderbird Way and Kennedy Street/Nato Place, RAF Lakenheath has confirmed the presence of a substantial spread of Roman settlement extending south from that seen at Caudle Head along the western edge of the airbase towards the Late Iron Age/Roman track and field system known on sites to the north and south of Lord's Walk. Seen together with preserved elements of the fen-edge topography, this demonstrates that archaeological deposits are well preserved throughout the housing estates in this part of the airbase. The nature of the material assemblage and archaeological features indicates that they are part of the same phase of activity in the 2nd and 3rd centuries previously identified in smaller scale monitorings across the site. Features generally appeared to be pits and ditches, with one possible structure, and at times were relatively dense, suggesting a focus of settlement as opposed to agricultural enclosures. A single burial of a mature adult female has been radio-carbon dated to the late medieval period, although on excavation it was thought to be a typical example of an isolated prehistoric or Roman burial. This means it is isolated from any contemporary activity, lying in open farm or heathland to the north of a medieval trackway, suggesting that the individual may have died and been buried in somewhat dubious circumstances. The results of the monitoring will be included within the EAA publication on the archaeology of the airbase, currently in preparation.
