Abstract:		 In July 2018 Archaeological Solutions (AS) carried out an archaeological evaluation on land off Luff Meadow, Needham Market, Suffolk (NGR TM 086 554). The evaluation was undertaken in compliance with the initial requirements of a planning condition attached to planning approval for the proposed construction of a new residential development (Mid Suffolk Planning Ref. 0012/15). It was required based on the advice of Suffolk County Council Archaeological Service Conservation Team (SCC AS-CT). The site occupies a favourable location for early occupation/activity reflected in the findings of Bronze Age ring ditches and Saxon activity within approximately 500m of the site (NDM 033, CRM 012, NDM 008). The known limit of the medieval town of Needham Market reaches 70m south of the site (NDM 026). A post-medieval windmill was located 140m to the north-west of the site (NDM 016), and two postmedieval yard surfaces were identified 170m to the south (NDM Misc). The recorded features identified during the evaluation were present in central and southern sectors of the site (Trenches 4 - 5, 7 - 9, and 12 - 14. The densest concentrations of features were found in Trench 9 (15 features), Trench 7 (9 features), 13 (5 features) and 14 (6 features). The majority of features were pits (29), quarry pits (2), ditches (5), dog burials (2), post hole (1) and a concrete floor. The features were of early modern and modern (19th - 20th century) date. The earliest pottery was from Ditch F1025 (mid 18th - 19th century), and Pit F1073 (late 18th - 19th century). A residual medieval (12th - 14th century) sherd was present with Pit F1089 (Trench 13).
