Abstract:		 An archaeological trial trenching evaluation was carried out by Suffolk County Council fieldwork team on land at Foxburrow Farm in advance of a planned solar array development. The works revealed evidence of Late Iron Age/early Roman occupation and land usage, with ring-ditches, field boundaries and possible hearths being identified. Two areas of investigation were carried out, the southern area, which consisted of thirty-one trenches revealed extensive field systems along with three ring ditches possibly relating to roundhouses and showing occupation in the area. The northern area, which consisted of sixty-seven trenches, confirmed the presence of both major linear field system ditches and smaller 'internal land division' ditches, similar to those seen more extensively in the southern area. No indications of any structures or refuse pitting were found in the northern works, suggesting that this area was utilised for agriculture rather than direct occupation. Most of the larger features seen in the works correspond to an apparently planned rectilinear field system previously identified by geophysical survey of the site which was dated to the mid-first century AD. In addition, a number of smaller ditches were identified that appear to respect the major ditch alignments, forming internal ditch systems - though whether this was for land division or additional drainage is unclear. Two radiocarbon dates were obtained from isolated pits, suggesting Early Saxon domestic activity in the area, although no other features were located which may be attributable to this period due to the paucity of artefactual evidence.
