Abstract:		 An archaeological Trial Trench Evaluation was undertaken on land at Elm Farm, Wilde Street, Beck Row, Suffolk. The site lies to the northeast fringe of the village of Beck Row and located to the southeast side of Wilde Street. Eleven trenches representing a 5% sample of the proposed development area were excavated. The trenches were randomly targeted but distributed to achieve maximum coverage of the proposed development area. Overall, the results of trial trenching indicate that there is little evidence of past human activity on the site. Evidence of prehistoric activity was represented by two small pits which probably represent the surviving bases of at one time larger but now plough truncated features. A single flint flake suggests a late Neolithic or Early Bronze Age date for the pits. A total of seven ditches were recorded around the site. The ditches remain undated but do not conform to the modern pattern of fields in the locality. This suggests a medieval or earlier date for the recorded ditch lines. Five large and generally amorphous shaped features probably represent natural undulations in the natural sands although one of the features could have served as a quarry - possibly for chalk extraction.
