Abstract:		 The site geology varied considerably. Woolpit Beds brickearth was recorded in central and northern areas, with Lowestoft Till on the higher ground to the west and Lowestoft outwash sands to the south. An Early Neolithic pit and two Early/Middle Iron Age pits provided clear evidence for distinct periods of prehistoric occupation on the light, sandy soils at the south end of the site. There was no evidence for the use of the site area during the Roman, Anglo-Saxon and medieval periods. Post-medieval ditches, probably corresponding to agricultural field boundaries shown on the 1846 tithe map, represented piecemeal enclosure of former heathland. In the second half of the 19th century, intensive quarrying of brickearth took place in the northern part of the site, probably associated with the nearby Woolpit Brickworks. At the south end of the site, sand and gravel deposits were quarried. Following the closure of the brickworks in the 1930s, the site was restored to agricultural use.
