Abstract:		 Suffolk Archaeology CIC (SACIC) undertook an excavation between the 12th February and 29th March 2018, on the proposed site of the West Suffolk Operations Hub at Hollow Road Farm, Fornham St Martin, Suffolk. The work followed on from a geophysical survey undertaken by Britannia Archaeology in 2014, which resulted in several potential archaeological anomalies being detected. Anomalies included two large linear ditches in the eastern part of the site, that were subsequently trial trenched by Suffolk Archaeology, confirming the presence of ditched enclosures and identifying thirteen features indicative of site occupation, spanning from the Middle Iron Age through to the Roman period. These features were focussed in the eastern third of the field and therefore a programme of archaeological mitigation was required for an archaeological excavation area covering an area of two hectares. Archaeological features exposed in the excavation area included ditches, pits and post holes, containing artefacts indicative of Bronze Age, Iron Age and Roman settlement activity. The most prominent features were a series of parallel ditches dating to the Middle to Late Iron Age and part of a small Roman enclosure identified in previous works to the south. This report comprises an assessment and quantification of the site archive and considers its significance and potential in addressing regional research objectives. The site is of local significance, with further analysis having the potential for increasing our understanding of ocal settlement and agricultural activity spanning from the Bronze Age to Middle to Late Iron Age and into the Roman periods. It includes an updated project design for the completion of an analytical report, publication summary and archive deposition.
