Abstract:		 An archaeological excavation was carried out in advance of a school development on land East of Moreton Hall, Rougham, Suffolk. The excavation revealed mainly Early/Middle Iron Age activity on the site, dating to c.500-300 of the first millennium BC. The character and density of the features indicates probably little more than the outskirts of a small farmstead to the east of the site, supporting one or two families. The domestic nature of the excavated features is demonstrated by the predominance of flint-tempered plain wares in the pottery assemblage, which consisted of vessel forms used typically for food preparation, serving and storage. Domestic activity is represented further by evidence of textile working in the form of loomweight fragments. This part of the settlement/farmstead seems to have been fairly short-lived and there is little evidence to suggest that the site had continued occupation during the late Iron Age/Roman period. Limited vertical stratigraphic sequences existed on the site, with only a few intercutting relationships observed. The archaeology mainly consisted of discrete features cutting the natural sandy clays and gravels. The settlement is represented by the remains of four smaller square or rectangular four-post structures (possible granaries), some pits, some external firepits (possible temporary hearths) and boundary ditches, possibly part of an adjacent field system.
