Abstract:		 Monitoring and recording On the 27th November 2018, and the 3nd and 4th January 2019 Britannia Archaeology Ltd (BA) undertook a continuous archaeological recording on behalf of Mr Patrick O’Connell of a side and rear extension at Walnut Tree Cottage, Orford, Suffolk (Planning ref. DC/PREAPP/17/1249, NGR TM 420 498). The monitoring work was conducted in accordance with a design Brief issued by Suffolk County Council Archaeological Service (SCCAS/CT) and a Written Scheme of Investigation by BA (dated December 2017) and approved by SCCAS/CT. The archaeological background search suggested that the site had a moderate to high potential for medieval finds mainly due to the proximity of Orford Castle and its associated medieval settlement. The potential for all other periods was negligible. Despite this, the monitoring revealed only post-medieval activity in the form of two post medieval garden soil layers (1001 and 1002), and a single modern garden soil layer 1000. The upper two garden soils (1000 and 1001) are likely to be the result of garden activity from the adjacent Walnut Tree Cottage and Pettistree Cottage to the south. Post medieval layer 1002 may possibly be the result of quarry infill activity (resulting from the post-medieval quarrying of Orford Castle) or resulting from levelling during the construction of Walnut Tree Cottage Post-medieval/modern wells 1004 and 1005 were also uncovered, with well 1004 located within the investigation area. These wells more than likely were in use in the latter half of the 19th century onwards, and possibly originally belonged to Pettistree Cottage to the south of the investigation area.
