Abstract:		 An archaeological excavation was conducted by NPS Archaeology ahead of development of land adjacent to The Green, Barrow in Suffolk. Previous evaluation had recorded ditches in the east of the development site that contained artefacts of Romano-British date with daub, faunal remains, charcoal and a small quantity of ceramics within their fills suggesting nearby occupation of Romano-British date. A second phase of evaluation work at the site examining Trenches 11 to13 was carried out following the clearance of standing buildings from the site on its southern boundary. Though trenches 12 and 13 yielded little of archaeological value, structural remains dated to the Middle or Late Iron Age were present in Trench 11. The excavation of an area 30m by 30m in plan located in the north-east of the site recorded features seen in previous evaluation works; a further undated ditch was also revealed. A small quantity of lava quern from one of the ditches along with charred grains of oats, barley and wheat recovered by environmental sampling suggests cereal processing occurred at the site during this period. Cattle remains from meat consumption were also present. Two possible post-holes or pits that were undated might belong to this period. Taken as a whole these ditches and artefacts are though to identify agrarian settlement of Romano-British date, perhaps the periphery of a small farmstead that went out of use in the 2nd century AD. The retrieval of a single sherd of Middle or Late Bronze Age pottery hints at possible earlier activity at the site. The influence of Roman agricultural practice is hinted at by the occurrence of new crop species such as bread wheat.
