Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was been commissioned by Galloper Wind Farm Ltd to carry out a pre-determination archaeological field evaluation in advance of the submission of a of a development consent order to build an offshore wind farm and associated development, including a new substation and associated infrastructure on land at Sizewell Gap, Leiston, Suffolk centred on NGR TM 46624 62742. A total of 35 machine excavated trial trenches, each measuring 25m x 1.8m, were excavated. The evaluation has proved the existence of features consistent with small scale Late Prehistoric and Romano-British activity probably relating to farming practices. The pottery recovered from the site, although mainly confined in any quantity to ditch 1203 in TR 12 is of Romano-British date. Finds were conspicuously absent from the remainder of the features across the site although a sherd of Saxon pottery was recovered from topsoil. Some struck flint of prehistoric date was also recovered as was a moderate quantity of burnt flint from pit 3003 again consistent with prehistoric activity. The site occupies a raised area distinct from the surrounding low lying ground suggesting this may have remained relatively dry in periods of wet weather or possible tidal inundation and therefore would have been suitable for occupation. The ditches observed on the site did show episodes of recutting, and the sandy nature of the natural ground and exposed nature of the site would have meant re-establishing drainage/boundary features on a regular, albeit seasonal basis. Interestingly very few of the ditches could be identified traversing several of the evaluation trenches.
