Abstract:		 From the 15th - 23rd of March 2021, Britannia Archaeology Ltd (BA) undertook a trial trenching evaluation on behalf of Carter Jonas at Suffolk Constabulary Force Headquarters, Portal Avenue, Martlesham Heath, Martlesham, Suffolk (TM 2415 4595). The site had a moderate potential for features and finds of prehistoric date, in particular relating to the previous round barrow on the site and the scheduled barrows close to the site. There was a low to moderate potential for features and finds relating to the early medieval period, and a moderate potential for features and finds relating to the modern airfield. There was a low potential for activity relating to the Roman, medieval, and post-medieval periods. Despite the above potential only two phases of activity were identified. The first phase of activity relates to the series of linear features present in the trenches in the western half of the site. The presence of a single post-medieval button in ditch 1015 in trench 20 along with the map regression data (Fig. 17) allows this ditch to be securely related to the north - south boundary that was present on the 1893 OS map. The second phase of activity associated with the site relates to the development of the land in the mid-20th century when the police headquarters was constructed. Until this time even with the Martlesham heath airfield located partially on the site no major changes to the landscape have been observed. Overall, the evaluation was achieved its aims of successfully evaluation the site to characterise the setting in its historical and archaeological context.
