Abstract:		 UK Power Networks will be replacing high voltage overhead power lines with below-ground cables running from Ipswich to Felixstowe and Shotley in Suffolk. A desk-based heritage assessment has highlighted that the cable route lies within a landscape rich in archaeological remains, dating from the later prehistoric period onwards. Accordingly, the Suffolk County Council Archaeological Service (SCCAS) advised that an archaeological evaluation would be required in order to identify and investigate the route's archaeological potential and significance; this would entail trial trench investigation within the majority of the cable route and the monitoring of boreholes within the banks of the River Orwell. Archaeological features were identified in 113 of the 170 trenches excavated and included features dating to between the Bronze Age and modern periods. These include late Neolithic/early Bronze Age ring ditches, areas of late prehistoric/Roman field systems and settlement-related activity, some late Saxon pits and an area of medieval settlement-related activity. Construction works associated with the cable trench will, therefore, impact upon several areas of significant archaeological features. In general, the impact is considered to be greatest where significant archaeological remains are located beneath shallow overburden - areas where potential features could be damaged by vehicle movements within the entire width of the working area corridor, as well as within the course of the cable trench itself. Conversely, there will be less impact within areas of deeper overburden, where any damage/impact to archaeological features would be confined to the width of the cable trench.
