Abstract:		 As part of the planning process for a new 2.4km long relief road to the south of Beccles (planning application no. DC/13/2400), an archaeological evaluation was required to cover the whole route. This was intended to consist of 158 30m long linear trenches in a standard pattern covering the site, divided into six fields. During excavation, some trenches had to be shortened from their intended lengths and two trenches were unable to be excavated due to obstructions, resulting in 156 trenches being excavated with a total length of c.4416m out of a target of 4740m. The trenches revealed a series of field boundary ditches that were recorded on early Ordnance Survey maps of the area, which are believed to have been backfilled in the mid-20th century, as well as features relating to the WW2 accommodation units nearby. A small number of later post-medieval ditches was also noted; although these are not seen on the Ordnance Survey maps they appear to lie within (and are most likely to be former parts of) the present field alignments/systems. A single pit with a large quantity of fired clay and charcoal fragments was found towards the western end of the site and a radiocarbon date has been sought for it. There may be a requirement for further works in the area around this pit but such a decision will be made by SCCAS in due course.
