Abstract:		 An area immediately to the rear of 88 Guildhall Street, Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk, was excavated, with further trenching monitored. The excavation uncovered chalk quarry pits, postholes and wells of medieval and post-medieval date beginning in the 12th century, as well as post-medieval mortar deposits, culverts and drains, suggestive of structures. However, there had been significant terracing of the site from post-medieval landscaping, as well as the construction of a modern small extension. Despite this, well-preserved deposits, including delicate remains such as fish bone, were preserved in places. Finds from the site included pottery, animal bone, ceramic building material (CBM), shell and fired clay of medieval and post-medieval date. There was also post-medieval tobacco pipe, mortar, bottle and window glass, and a small range of medieval and post-medieval small finds. Environmental samples produced evidence of crop processing, malting and smithing. Unusually large quantities of non-magnetic clinker/slag were recovered, indicating some sort of industrial activity nearby.
