Abstract:		 The results of an archaeological excavation at 'Denbet', Mill Road, Hengrave, Suffolk. The site is situated in the immediate vicinity of the Fornham Cursus (FAS 004), parts of which are a Scheduled Monument (SF 114). The positioning of the initial evaluation trench at 'Denbet' was very fortunate in that it happened upon a post-setting which subsequently proved to be part of a very shallow set of features and an area of scorched gravel. Together these features and the worked flint collected from them offer ephemeral evidence for the location of a Mesolithic camp site or temporary shelter. Worked flint was also collected from several shallow hollows in the natural geology close by along with a broader scatter across the site. The overall assemblage includes several exhausted bladelet cores, numerous bladelets, a microlith in the form of an obliquely backed point and a small number of ad hoc scrapers. Part of a coaxial ditch system was revealed on a north-west to south-east orientation which may be seen as an extension of a past landscape recognised previously to the north and east through extensive cropmarks. Some areas of these ditches were masked by a build-up of cover sands of c. 200mm depth, which may suggest the former presence of a denuded topsoil. The ditches contained occasional residual prehistoric flints but no cultural material which can elucidate further on their date or function. The general form and layout of these ditches does not appear to be consistent with a Neolithic landscape and overall they may be interpreted as being later land divisions set away from settlement, possibly related to pastoral use.
