Abstract:		 Britannia Archaeology Ltd was commissioned by Ellis Drafting Services on behalf of the landowners to undertake an archaeological desk-based assessment of a site on land north of Broom Road, Lakenheath, Suffolk (NGR: TL 72400 82600) The assessment identified a high potential for Upper Palaeolithic deposits of potentially national significance on the proposed site. The wider area has also been a site of occupation activity since the Mesolithic period with significant settlement activity identified in the Roman, Saxon, medieval and post-medieval periods. The assessment site is situated at least 500m from the focus of much of this settlement activity, and a moderate potential for Bronze Age, Roman and medieval remains is suggested. The potential for all other periods is considered to be low and the historic maps show the site probably remained in agricultural use until the mid-19th century when quarrying first appears on the historic maps, evidence of this quarrying activity has also been identified by the aerial photography and LiDAR data. Two cartographic sources suggest the presence of an 'Old Church Yard' in the north-eastern corner of the site in 1836 and later sources show extensive damage to the centre of the site from levelling and farm building construction. The potential for later post-medieval and modern remains is therefore high. The impact on setting of existing heritage assets is likely to be low due to the surrounding topography and existing housing developments.
