Abstract:		 An excavation was carried out on land south of Main Road, Martlesham, Suffolk, in advance of housing development. The excavation of Area 1 identified several phases of field system defined by boundary ditches. The earliest of these was located on the higher ground in the north of the site and comprised several adjoining small square and rectangular enclosures with associated trackways. Finds were scarce owing to the agricultural character of the enclosures. However, small quantities of predominantly flint-tempered pottery, combined with stratigraphic and spatial relationships, suggest a Middle to Late Bronze Age/ Early Iron Age date. The site adds to a growing body of evidence for the laying out of extensive subdivided agricultural landscapes across much of the Suffolk coast and river valleys during the later Bronze Age. Middle to Late Iron Age and post-medieval field boundaries were also identified, the former providing an important contextual backdrop to previously identified early Roman activity in the locality. Two additional targeted excavations (Areas 2 and 3) are due to take place in the eastern half of the site, in line with the developer's construction programme.
