Abstract:		 NPS Archaeology was commissioned by Peter Colby Commercials Ltd to carry out an archaeological evaluation ahead of new development on Land at Whapload Road, Lowestoft (TM 5523 9350). The development plot was 1069m2 in area and undertaken according to a brief issued by the Archaeological Service Conservation Team of Suffolk County Council to fulfil planning requirements set by Waveney District Council. The site is located within the historic core of Lowestoft and the Lowestoft Area of Archaeological Importance (LWT 040). Prior to the work there was considered to be a high probability of archaeological remains within the area of the evaluation. The fieldwork took place in October 2015 and consisted of one L-shaped trench situated approximately in the centre/northeast of the plot. It was partly situated in the footprint of the new development and associated car park. The project uncovered a probable 18th-century wall, which may have been part of a warehouse, smoke house, or some other industrial building, many of which are known to have been situated in the vicinity of Whapload Road. A mortar surface and a cobble surface, both of which probably date to a similar period, were also revealed. Earlier (undated) layers of build-up were observed in two deeper sondages within the trench. The layers appeared to be characteristic of a deposit type seen elsewhere in Lowestoft, and may have resulted from the disposal and dumping of waste on marginal land. Most the upper 1.20m of the archaeological remains revealed by the evaluation consisted of made ground, partly the result of recent levelling following removal of a modern cold store at the site.
