Abstract:		 The site at Langton Green is situated at the north boundary of the civil parish of Eye in the county of Suffolk. The site of the proposed development comprises 3.3 hectares of open agricultural land located immediately north of the industrial complex of Camstar Herbs Ltd. The site lies within an area of rich and diverse archaeological findspots and monuments dating from the prehistoric to the post-medieval periods and is located on the east fringe of Broome common. Seventeen trenches representing a 5% sample of the proposed development area were excavated as part of the evaluation. The trenches were randomly targeted but distributed to achieve maximum coverage of the area. Overall, the results of trial trenching indicate that archaeological features do not survive on the site and no artefacts definitively earlier than the post-medieval were recovered from the plough soil. The development area lies within the boundaries of Broome common which probably has its origins in the Late Anglo-Saxon period. The common was enclosed in 1812. Its use as common land probably for shared rights of pasture during these periods would suggest that little or no development occurred on the common during these periods. The work indicates that no occupation was located on the edges of the common within the confines of the development area.
