Abstract:		 In November 2009 Archaeological Solutions Ltd. conducted historic building recording at Sproughton Mill, Lower Street, Sproughton, Suffolk (NGR TM 12480 45103). The recording was undertaken in advance of the proposed residential conversion of the former mill building. In January 2010, Archaeological Solutions Ltd (AS) carried out a programme of detailed archaeological monitoring and recording, principally prior to the construction of a car park and driveway. Sproughton Mill, a Grade II Listed Building, is a typical example of an early industrial structure, most probably dating to the late 18th century. There is documentary evidence indicating an earlier mill in the vicinity. Two arches span the mill race beneath the building providing power to an undershot mill wheel although this has been removed. It retains a high quality and picturesque brick façade with a weather-boarded hoist loft extending from the upper floor. The internal layout is open plan; massive Baltic softwood joisting supports several floors, while the ground floor preserves a large robust oak frame which formerly enclosed the milling machinery. Most of the machinery has been removed, though some pulley wheels remain in the roof space. One corner of the building was extensively rebuilt in the recent past. The archaeological monitoring and recording revealed no archaeological features or finds
