Abstract:		 In May 2007 Archaeological Solutions conducted an archaeological desk-based assessment of land at Parkers Mill, Mill Street, Mildenhall, Suffolk (NGR TL 7093 7436). The assessment was undertaken in response to a planning condition (F/2006/1030/FUL) applied to residential redevelopment of the site. Parkers Mill is situated on the north side of the river Lark, on a leat running roughly parallel to the river. The site is located on the edge of, and extends into, the Lark floodplain, straddling the divide between loam over chalk (to the north) and fen edge peat deposits to the south. The wider location of the site is significant, with fenland to the west and the light sandy soils of the Breckland to the east. This location would have been an attractive position to prehistoric farmers; there is some evidence of prehistoric activity to the east of the site. Domesday Book refers to a mill in Mildenhall, possibly in this location (SMR MNL455), and a spot find of an Anglo-Saxon iron spearhead has been recorded in the field adjacent to the site (SMR MNL061). The site therefore has particular potential for evidence of prehistoric and/or Anglo-Saxon activity The mill building is still standing, as is Mill House, which is scheduled. The majority of the site is currently occupied by hardstanding, and there is a likelihood that levelling layers, relating to the industrial use of the site, are present in some areas.
