Abstract:		 Between the 18th and 26th of September 2017, Oxford Archaeology East (OA East) undertook an archaeological trial trench evaluation on land north-east of Street Farm, Saxmundham. Archaeological remains comprised of pits, postholes and ditches. Finds across the site were generally low, with several of the features excavated being devoid of datable material. Most of the cut features identified are believed to date from the Iron Age period, with struck flint, pottery, fired clay and a complete loomweight being recovered from pits and ditches. Finds collected from the surface of the colluvium indicate a long-term process of soil accumulation and incorporation of artefacts, particularly around that of Trench 1, with struck flint and pottery dating from the Neolithic through to the early post-medieval period. Perceived Anglo-Saxon remains were also identified on the site, however the absence of finds precludes definitive dating. Two sides of a rectangular posthole structure were recorded in Trench 7 and is tentatively interpreted as an Anglo-Saxon hall. Trenches situated across the southern half of the site revealed post-medieval field boundary ditches and a series of parallel ditches, which are most likely related to cultivation. Overall, the trenching has confirmed the presence of preserved archaeological remains across the proposed development area, with the most significant being concentrated in the north and western half of the site. The identified remains date from the Iron Age and Anglo-Saxon periods, and are believed to relate to settlement activity uncovered during archaeological works on the adjacent site to the immediate west (SXM043; Clarke 2017).
