Abstract:		 This desk-based assessment considers the potential archaeological implications of proposed redevelopment of the former Parma Site, High Street, Wickham Market, Suffolk. Wickham Market is a small town located in an historic part of rural Suffolk. Perhaps the most significant feature in the archaeological record of the area is that of the small Roman town in the neighbouring parish of Hacheston, close to the border with Wickham Market. Excavations have been undertaken here which have revealed some continuity from the Iron Age through to the early Roman period, and includes roads and buildings and possibly burials. It is not thought likely that this Roman settlement has encroached very far into Wickham Market, although this cannot be ruled out. An important large hoard of Roman coins has been found in the area and a possible section of Roman road. The development site lies within what is thought to be the limits of the medieval town of Wickham Market, and although the area was not particularly prosperous immediately after the Norman Conquest, it did subsequently grow, and was granted a market and fairs in the 13th century. It is possible that medieval remains could be present within the site, especially on the street frontage, where buildings are more likely to have been located. However, it should be noted that archaeological interventions undertaken at development sites in the vicinity have not located any significant deposits to date. The 1783 map by Hodskinson appears to show a structure on the site, although the precise location of the area is uncertain, and this building may represent a medieval one which was later demolished - it does not appear on mapping in the intervening years.
