Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation by trial trenching was undertaken across fields forming a proposed development site adjacent to Foxborough Road, Lowestoft. In total eighteen trenches, each of c.30m length, were dug across the site. Ground conditions were very wet with many of the trenches filling with water. Six undated ditches were identified across the site. All of these features had either peaty or organic-rich silty fills suggesting that water had stood in these ditches when they were open. Three of these ditches appeared to be at right-angles to a large post-medieval bank and ditch running east to west across the southern edge of the site and were possibly part of the same grid of field division. Other ditches were on different alignments and were probably part of an earlier system. No finds or other evidence for human activity were found either associated with the ditches or unstratified in the topsoil. Given the wet water-logged condition of these fields it is likely that this area had been used in the past for summer pasture or for harvesting hay. It is probable that the ditches encountered were associated with either land drainage or stock management.
