Abstract:		 On the 6th July 2016, Britannia Archaeology Ltd (BA) undertook a trial trench evaluation at BYE Engineering, Brick Kiln Lane, Melton, Suffolk in advance of the construction of an industrial building and associated works. A design brief issued by Suffolk County Council Archaeology Service/Conservation Team (SCCAS/CT) required a programme of linear trial trenching to sample 5% of the available area. A single trial trench measuring 30.00m x 1.80m (Figure 5) was excavated. Background research for the project indicated that evidence for Saxon, later medieval and post-medieval archaeology was most likely to be encountered. Melton's formation was in the Saxon period, while the post-medieval Melton Quay was located nearby. Three possible phases of activity were identified. The latest consisted of a modern machine cut trench, which was recorded in plan and not investigated any further. The next phase consisted of a small pit, 1006, which contained five bricks likely to be associated with the modern brick works on site, placing the pit's date in the late 19th-early 20th Centuries. A possible earlier phase is represented by an undated gully, 1004, which may represent an agricultural feature pre-dating the sites industrial use. Three possible phases of activity were identified.
