Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	An archaeological excavation was carried out at Aldham Mill Hill, Hadleigh. This followed a trial trench evaluation which, along with aerial photograph evidence, had identified areas of archaeological potential. Various features were uncovered, including two large Bronze Age ring-ditches, and a smaller one surrounding a group of urned and un-urned cremations. Cremations were also found within the northern ring-ditch and a few in isolated positions just to the west of the ring-ditches. Central to the northern ring-ditch was an upturned biconical urn covering the cremated remains of a 35-40 year old male, which may represent the monument's primary burial. The southern ring-ditch provided a focus for four pagan Anglo-Saxon inhumations located around the western side of the ditch. One male, two females and another individual dating from the 7th century were represented along with grave goods of beads, rings, knives and a pot of Merovingian origin. Medieval deposits were largely confined to the south western corner of the site, consisting of ditches, pits, post-holes and an oven. These appear to form a probable agricultural complex. At least two structures were identified, but these were probably farm buildings rather than dwellings. Away from the ring-ditches, prehistoric features were sparse but one isolated pit with Late Neolithic Grooved Ware was located. Prehistoric evidence dating back as far as the Mesolithic was present throughout the site but mainly as unstratified or residual finds. It was also noted that significant depths of silty subsoil deposits had built up since the Roman period.
