Abstract:		 An Archaeological Trial Trench Evaluation was undertaken on land south of Shop Street, Worlingworth, Suffolk. The area of the proposed development comprises approximately 1.6ha of open agricultural land located at the west periphery of the village and 1.6km west of the medieval church of St Mary. Historical research shows that the site lies at the fringe of a former green which was probably established in the 13th century. Cartographic evidence and prior subsurface archaeological interventions have recorded evidence of medieval and post-medieval occupation at other areas situated on the edge of the green. Sixteen trenches were excavated as part of the project, randomly distributed to achieve maximum coverage of the proposed development area. Overall, the results of the work indicates that archaeological features are rare on the site. Only one trench (Trench 12) contained features represented by an undated linear ditch and a clay extraction pit of 13th or 14th century date. No artefacts definitively earlier than the 19th century were recovered from the plough soil. In summary, it would appear that the land was free of occupation or arable agriculture until the mid 19th century when the land was enclosed.
