Abstract:		 An archaeological excavation was undertaken by Suffolk County Council Archaeological Service Field Team (SCCAS/FT, now Suffolk Archaeology CIC) on land at Windmill Hill, Exning, Suffolk, in June/July 2014, prior to the proposed development of a small-scale residential estate. The excavation targeted a small area where previous phases of geophyscial survey and trial trench evaluation had identified the presence of archaeological deposits dating to the Bronze Age and Roman periods. The excavation confirmed the presence of two ditches of Middle Bronze Age and probable Roman date, both identified in the earlier archaeological evaluation, and two additional small undated pits. The Middle Bronze Age ditch was a substantial feature and has been dated via a modest assemblage of pottery belonging to the Deverel Rimbury tradition (1500-1150 BC) and the radiocarbon dating of two samples. The radiocarbon dating results of 3047 +/-29 BP and 3079 +/-28 BP correlate well with the stratigraphy of the feature and the finds evidence. While this ditch provides evidence for significant activity in this period in the vicinity it is, at present, an isolated feature and there is little indication of where any focus of activity may lie. It predates that of the significant Iron Age site at EXG 082 however, some 250m to the west, and it seems most likely that associated settlement also lies uphill to the north or west. Limited monitoring of groundworks in the surrounding area showed that any potential archaeological horizon was not being disturbed, with the majority of the development access road being built up and with associated services not penetrating an extensive modern dump deposit spread across the central and eastern half of the site.
