Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	Between April and July 2005 Archaeological Solutions (AS) carried out a programme of archaeological monitoring and recording in connection with a new c.2ha residential development at Aspal Park, Beck Row, Mildenhall, Suffolk (NGR TL 7000 7770). Despite the known potential of similar fen edge locations for remains of prehistoric and Romano-British settlement, no archaeological features or finds were present on the site. There was also no evidence of dispersed medieval settlement associated with either Aspal Lane to the east or Holmsey Green to the north. For much of its history, the site appears to have been low-lying marginal land, prone to encroachment from the surrounding fenland. As such, it was unoccupied. Undisturbed natural sand deposits underlay topsoil across much of the site. Towards the south of the site a thick peat deposit (L2002) was identified beneath a layer of natural sand (L2001). This was interpreted as having formed in waterlogged conditions in a natural hollow at the fen edge at a time of rising water levels and fen encroachment. Further support for the idea that the area was too marginal and prone to flooding was evident from the north of the site where a darker layer contained organic debris (L1002) interrupted the sequence of natural sand deposits (L1001, L1003).
