Abstract:		 In August and September 2016, Archaeological Solutions Ltd carried out a trial trench evaluation on 30.78 hectares of land at Chilton Leys, Suffolk. A geophysical survey (Chaplin et al. 2016) and archaeological trial trench evaluation were required by in advance of the determination of planning applications for residential development and the construction of an access road. The earliest encountered feature was an isolated prehistoric pit (F4002) recorded in Trench 88. It contained Bronze Age pottery (25; 565g), burnt flint (1244g) and fired clay (17g). Sparse struck flint was found within a few later features. Positive geophysical anomalies (Nos. 2 - 3, 5 - 6, 8 and 16) were sometimes detectable (Trenches 10 (F5013), 14 (F5089 and F5094), 15 (F5097), 45 (F5160) and 46 (F5174)). Some of the dating evidence is tentative, being based on sparse pottery sherds. For example, F5013 contained a 6th - 9th century sherd and F5089 contained a post-medieval sherd. However, Ditch F5160 contained 79 medieval sherds and the features identified as Anomaly 3 (Trench 25 (F5134) and 26 (F5113, F5130, F5132 and F5145) consistently contained medieval pottery assemblages (27, 50, 22, 16 and 15 sherds respectively). The pottery was found in association with animal bone, fired clay and oyster shell. Anomalies 1 - 3 appeared to be broadly contemporary, being similarly aligned and adjacent to one another. Anomaly 1 was an enclosure present in Trenches 17 (F5056), 18 (F5105 and F5107), 20 (F5015) and 21 (F5039). It was not detected in Trench 16, however. The enclosure ditch proved to be quite substantial, measuring c. 2.50m - 3.50m wide and c. 1.50m - 1.80m deep. It contained sparse medieval pottery in association with CBM, animal bone, fired clay and iron fragments. The pottery comprises just 18 sherds from F5039 and eight sherds from F5015. The function of the medieval features is uncertain.
