Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation carried out on land adjacent to the River Dove off of Cranley Hall Road, immediately to the south of Eye, Suffolk, did not identify any firm evidence for past activity on the site prior to the 20th century, suggesting that the site has historically been subject to only a low-level of use, most likely as floodplain meadowland for animal grazing. However the trench stratigraphy demonstrated that the site contains palaeo-environment deposits, with a natural sequence of thick and relatively uniform peat layers. Radiocarbon dating has shown that these were laid down from the Late Mesolithic to the Late Anglo-Saxon period. Palaeo-enviromental analysis of a monolith column sample of the peat has shown that the preservation of environmental remains was variable. Although further study is not recommended, it was noted that the data could form an important starting point for future investigation of the Dove valley as part of a comparative dataset. Therefore although the development will involve substantial groundworks these will only have a localised and so relatively minor impact upon deposits which have been characterised and are likely to extend across the remainder of the field and into the broader floodplain.
