Abstract:		 In September 2017 Archaeological Solutions Ltd (AS) carried out an archaeological excavation and monitoring at Cornhill, Ipswich (NGR TM 162 446), in advance of proposals to regenerate it. An archaeological evaluation revealed a relatively high density of features in both trenches. The features were discrete as opposed to linear, and comprised pits and postholes. The archaeological features were 0.50 - 1.20m below the current ground surface and are well preserved. The features contained predominantly early 8th - mid 9th century pottery, and also mid 9th-12th century, 11t -13th century, and mid 12th-mid 14th century pottery. Associated finds comprise CBM, animal bone and shell. A fragment of slag and a medieval copper alloy button were also found. Sparse residual struck flint was also recovered. The excavation also recorded a density of Saxon- medieval pits and postholes sealed by a sequence of made ground, including the continuation of features recorded at the southern end of earlier Trench 1. Several pits were inter-cutting, and exhibited slightly irregular profiles with multiple fills that suggest the accumulation of waste, possibly as rubbish pits. The postholes exhibited regular and steep-sided profiles, and probably had a structural function. A deposit sealing the medieval features was a metalled surface, possibly representing a market surface. The features represented three phases of activity, spanning the 8th-9th, 9th-12th and 12th-15th centuries. Pits F2077 and F2086 contained wellpreserved, residual Roman pottery, suggesting the presence of hitherto unknown, earlier activity in the Cornhill area. The available evidence was consistent with urban activity during the represented periods. While no evidence to irrefutably prove the use of this area as a market place was recorded, the evidence may be considered to support the historical evidence that indicates that this was the function of this part of Ipswich.
