Abstract:		 In January and February 2019 Archaeological Solutions Ltd carried out archaeological evaluation on land to the west of the Plough and Fleece Inn, Great Green, Cockfield, (NGR TL 915 561; Figs. 1 - 2). The evaluation was undertaken in compliance with a planning condition attached to planning approval for the construction of up to ten dwellings. The predominant recorded features were ditches. They were broadly co-axial but their dating evidence is much varied. Ditch F1003 (Trench 1) contained a 19th - 20th century pottery sherd and Ditch F1013 (Trench 5) numerous (10) sherds of Late 16th - 18th century pottery. Ditches F1007 (Trench 3) and F1009 (Trench 5) contained medieval pottery with 16 sherds from F1007. The pottery includes a range of locally-produced coarse ware and glazed and stamp-decorated jugs made at Hedingham, Essex, and common in the region. Ditch F1005 (Trench 2) was undated. There was a `concentration' of medieval features in Trench 5 at the southern end of the site comprising Ditches F1009 and F1011; and Pit F1020. The finds associated with the medieval pottery very limited quantities of daub, cattle bone and carbonised barley grains. The material likely reflects the dispersion of domestic debris in a peripheral area beyond the core of the village. The ditches appear to represent a system of small fields or enclosures, likely of agricultural function, and located to the immediate north-west of the 'Great Green' at the corner of the village. The ditches may have origins in the medieval period and reflect development thereafter. The study of rural settlement patterns, focussed on the development of village cores, plot and field management, has often remained on the periphery of archaeological research as opposed to landscape historians and historic geographers (Wade 1997, 52; Medlycott 2011, 60). The pits, F1022 and F1024, in Trench 4 were undated or contained late post-medieval to early modern CBM, and may represent quarry pits.
