Abstract:		 Between the 27th and 30th June 2022, Oxford Archaeology carried out archaeological trial trenching on land to the north of Felixtowe Road, Seven Hills, Ipswich, Suffolk which is being considered for commercial development. A total of 256 trenches, the majority measuring 30m long by 2m wide, were investigated in advance of the submission of a planning application. Despite the evaluation area being sited within a known Bronze Age funerary landscape comprising round barrows, with ring ditches identified from cropmarks lying within the evaluation area, only minimal evidence of Bronze Age activity was present. Trenches targeted on or around the ring ditches provided no conclusive evidence of their presence. However, near to one of the ring ditches, Trench 175 contained a small assemblage of Middle Bronze Age pottery. The predominant feature across the western fields were ditches that formed part of a post-medieval field system shown on cartographic sources between 1838–1990. Undated ditches often ran parallel to those visible on historic maps suggesting they are still part of the same post-medieval field system but possibly no longer in use when the area was documented in detail. Further undated features within the site included isolated postholes and pits. Eight trenches across the site contained charcoal rich pits, the remains of charcoal making “clamps” but potentially of a relatively recent date as many were observed to cut subsoil in the trench sections. Trenches within the north-eastern corner of the evaluated area contained evidence for considerable modern disturbance, probably relating to the construction of the adjacent A14 carriageway during the 1980s. A total of 176 out of 256 trenches produced no archaeological remains which demonstrates the overall low density of archaeological features on this site.
