Abstract:		 In January and February 2016, Britannia Archaeology Ltd (BA) undertook an archaeological excavation on Land Rear of 49-55 Schoolfield, Glemsford, Suffolk. The results of the excavation show four phases of activity ranging in date from the late Bronze Age to the Roman period. The main phase of activity related to Phase II (400BC - 43AD) which comprised three features including two ditches forming part of a field system or enclosures, and potential drove way. The site was dominated by these two ditches. This system of land division is common in the Iron Age and indicates the likely sub division of the whole area in the wider historic landscape. The spacing between the boundary ditches, demarcating the enclosures, could have been used as a track way/drove way. The excavation has allowed the opportunity to add to the relatively sparse pre historic record in the area, and potentially indicates the location of settlement towards the village core in the prehistoric period. Phase II shows a typical view of peripheral Iron Age activity associated with an agricultural community with potential animal paddocks evidenced by a drove way to allow movement from field to field. Phase III seems to indicate a change in use of the localised area, with a move from purely agricultural practices to storage and settlement.
