Abstract:		 The results of a single trench evaluation on the proposed footprint of a single residential dwelling within the historic core of the village of Freckenham, Suffolk. The site is located within an area considered to have high archaeological potential on the western edge of the historic core of the village. Previous archaeological work to the east of the site at the Village Hall and adjacent allotments (much of which are now developed as Shores Close) have recorded Iron Age and medieval features along with scatters of Roman finds. An Iron Age coin hoard of over 90 gold Iceni staters was found just off Fordham Road to the north-east in 1885. A single evaluation trench was excavated within the proposed footprint of the house. This demonstrated that the natural geology is overlain by thin soils, which include only traces of an original subsoil below a modern topsoil of c. 0.3m depth. Two pits were discovered below the topsoil, which are suspected to be chalk extraction pits, tentatively dated to the medieval to early post-medieval period. Only a single small piece of medieval pottery was collected from one of these pits. Noteworthy finds collected from topsoil include a single sherd of early medieval pottery and two worked and utilised flints of Late Neolithic to Bronze Age date
