Abstract:		 A trenched evaluation was conducted across the 0.37ha garden of the bungalow at Church Knoll, Upper Street, Baylham. The garden was on a fairly steep south-east facing slope. Geological sand deposits were found at both the top and bottom of the slope, with chalky clay encountered between. A thick accumulation of hillwash and other deposits had built up to over 1.5m depth at the bottom of the slope. A single pit was revealed at c.20m distance from the road frontage. No dating evidence was retrieved from this feature, although the sharp contact witnessed between its fill and the underlying natural sand might suggest that it was of fairly recent origin. No other features were observed or archaeological finds recovered across the rest of the site. Remains of Roman, Saxon and medieval date have been located across the hilltop above the site and the adjacent road is likely to be of medieval or earlier date. Archaeological remains would most likely be encountered adjacent to the road as the sloping garden was probably too steep for occupation or significant past activity. Trenching could not be carried out close to the road because of trees and other obstacles and the area adjacent to the bungalow had been severely truncated by the construction of a landscaped terrace for the building. The accumulation of hillwash across the bottom of the site might have been due to clearance of the slope and/or ploughing during the medieval or earlier periods
