Abstract:		 On the 8th December 2015, Britannia Archaeology Ltd (BA) undertook an archaeological investigation by means of a trial trench evaluation at Thurston Road, Lowestoft, Suffolk (TM 548 937), (Fig. 1) in advance of the construction of 6 flats and 2 houses. The archaeological background search suggested that the site had a specific potential for medieval and post medieval features and finds relating to the expansion and consolidation of the medieval core of the town. No archaeological features were encountered in Trench 1. The evaluation revealed three phases of activity. The most recent phase of activity on site was Concrete Yard Surface 1000. This relates to recent adoption of the site as a builders yard. Made Ground Layer 1001 is associated with this phase. The second, earlier phase of activity relates to Demolition Layer 1002 and Modern Building Footprint, which was encountered in the trench. The construction of the building and is subsequent demolition represents the second phase of activity. The final phase of activity is Subsoil 2003 which represents a former medieval - post medieval plough soil. The site lies in an area which was on the periphery of settlement activity until the expansion of the town in the post medieval period. Given the level of modern truncation within the trench, the survival of archaeological remains under the current standing buildings on the remainder of the sire is considered unlikely.
