Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Videotext Communications Ltd to undertake a programme of archaeological recording and post-excavation work on an archaeological evaluation undertaken by Channel 4's 'Time Team' within the current settlement of Dunwich, Suffolk. This consisted of Area 1, the site of the Beach Car Park (adjacent to the Flora Tea Rooms) (NGR TM 47894 70702), and Area 2, Greyfriars (NGR TM 47772 70366). Two trenches and a testpit were excavated in Area 1, thought to be the approximate location of the Hospital of the Holy Trinity, also known as the Maison Dieu (SMN SF142). Although no medieval structures were located, the presence of medieval pottery, window glass and stone mouldings suggested the proximity of high status, probably ecclesiastical medieval buildings. Area 2 encompassed the precinct of a Franciscan friary, commonly known as Greyfriars (SMN SF40). A trench over the medieval town ditch in Area 2 confirmed previous work in locating a large ditch with an internal bank. Pottery from this feature, dating between the late 11th and 14th centuries, continues to support the idea that this section of ditch pre-dates the friary complex. Although the height of the bank was substantially reduced it was not clear whether this was deliberately levelled as was the conclusion drawn from earlier excavations.
