Abstract:		 The East Anglia ONE project comprised a 1200mw offshore windfarm and associated marine and land-based infrastructure works carried out under a Developer Consent Order (DCO) by Scottish Power Renewables (SPR). The onshore works consisted of a 37km cable route from Bawdsey, south east of Ipswich on the Suffolk coast, to a proposed new substation at Bramford sited north west of Ipswich. The archaeological evidence retrieved from Site 9a revealed evidence for multi‐phase occupation, focused on the Late Bronze Age/Early Iron Age transition period, extending from the Early Bronze Age until the early 20th century. A single fragment of residual Mesolithic flint was also recovered from a medieval boundary ditch, indicating that the land bordering Akenham was exploited by hunter-gather communities between the 10th and 4th millennium BC. Residual Neolithic flakes, miscellaneous retouched flakes and a discoidal core were recovered in association with Iron Age pottery fragments, identified in another medieval plough furrow. The central and eastern portion of the site were located on a sand and gravel plateau occupied by an Early Bronze Age enclosure, three pits and a pit containing a complete, inverted empty collared urn. Multiple Late Bronze Age/Early Iron Age waste pits were excavated. The western portion of the site contained a heavily truncated medieval boundary ditch, an east-west aligned post-medieval field boundary and an early 20th century sand and gravel extraction pit.
