Abstract:		 Phases of evaluation, geophysical survey and excavation fieldwork were carried out on land to the east of The Granary, in Clare, Suffolk. Significant quantities of Mesolithic and Neolithic-Early Bronze Age flint were recovered from a subsoil layer and there was limited redeposited late prehistoric pottery. The main phase of occupation dated from the 12th century into the early post-medieval period. Large scale quarrying of clay and an associated late medieval/16th century brick and tile kiln were uncovered, along with four probable houses from two phases, as well as boundary ditches, posthole structures, ovens and large pits. An unusual large channel may represent quarrying for the construction of Stoke Road as well as an attempt at drainage. The finds recovered from this main period of activity include large quantities of pottery, animal bone and ceramic building material, as well as iron utensils and fixings, imported lava millstone fragments and over one hundred small finds (coins, medieval keys, brooches, knives, trade tokens and garment fixings). Environmental results indicate cereal processing, as well as cereal and legume cultivation, and potentially metalworking. Agricultural activity was recorded in the form of posthole enclosures. In the 19th century quarrying on a large scale was also recorded. There was scant evidence for pre-12th century features on the site, with one candidate being a stratigraphically early ditch. A limited number of Roman small finds were recovered during metal-detection consisting of six coins, as well as some earlier pottery, consisting of twenty-one Roman sherds and four Late Saxon sherds.
