Abstract:		 Desk based assessment in association witha scheme to improve the flood defences on the A12 where it crosses the River Blyth. The results of this DBA suggest there is a moderate to high potential for encountering Anglo-Saxon, medieval and post-medieval archaeological remains due to the location of the PDA, which lies along the line of a causeway and bridge that has been in use from at least the Anglo-Saxon period. The present site of the bridge is c. 30m to the west of the site of the bridge recorded on the tithe map of 1841. This is probably the result of the new bridge, that was built in the 1850s, being alongside the existing bridge in order enable the earlier bridge to stay in use during the construction phase, or it may be related with the need to create a bridge over the Southwold Railway, which opened in the 1879.
