Abstract:		 Two trial trenches were excavated and recorded at 25 Grimwade Street/ Rope Walk, Ipswich, to establish the archaeological potential of the site prior to redevelopment. The trenches revealed brick walls and floors of post-medieval buildings, predominantly dating to the 19th century, though one wall may be late-18th-century based on its correspondence with a boundary wall shown on Joseph Pennington's Map of 1778. It was apparent in both of the trenches that construction of later buildings on site had involved the demolition of earlier structures and that some of these had been robbed for bricks. The post-medieval structures truncated a soil layer, the general character of which is probably the result of late-17th-/18th-century market garden cultivation on the edge of the expanding town. This land-use would fit the depiction of the site and surrounding area in the late 18th century on Pennington's Map. Both the trenches were largely excavated down to the level of the natural geology. No features pre-dating the post-medieval period were present in either Trench 1 or Trench 2, although a single residual sherd of medieval (12th-14th-century) coarseware was found in Trench 1.
