Abstract:		 From the 4th to the 6th February 2019, Britannia Archaeology Ltd (BA) undertook a trial trench evaluation on behalf of Jamie Bird of Fleur Developments Ltd as part of a condition of outline application 4242/16 for the construction of 28 new dwellings, roads and associated works at Land to the North of Mason Court, Mendlesham, Suffolk (TM 1019 6602) (Fig. 1). The evaluation took the form of twelve trenches measuring 30.00m x 1.80m and two measuring 15.00m x 1.80m located across the proposed development site. The archaeological background for the site suggested that there was a moderate to high potential for Roman remains, and moderate potential for later medieval and post-medieval activity associated with the development of the village, while archaeology relating to all other remaining periods was considered low. Despite this potential for the Roman and medieval periods, the evaluation did not encounter any archaeological features from these periods. Post-medieval and modern archaeology was encountered, comprised of a series of post-medieval ridge and furrow linears encountered within Trial Trench 8 (features 1005 and 1007), and Ditch 1009 within Trial Trench 9, also plotted running through Trial Trench 12. This ditch is visible on the 1952 6 inch OS map of the area, and is assumed to be recently backfilled during the latter half of the 20th century, originally forming a field boundary. A single undated tree bole (1003) was found within Trial Trench 3. Agricultural top and sub soils 1000 and 1001 respectively were present across the site directly overlaying natural sub soil 1002, and relate to the modern agricultural practices within the site bounds.
