Abstract:		 From 29th October to 15th November 2018 Britannia Archaeology Ltd (BA) undertook a trial trench evaluation at Land off Blacktiles lane, Martlesham, Suffolk. The site had a moderate to high potential for features and finds relating to the prehistoric period, a moderate potential for Romano-British archaeology, and a low to moderate potential for features and finds relating to the medieval and post-medieval periods particularly in the form of agricultural activity. The evaluation revealed a high volume of archaeological features. Four possible phases of activity were identified with the predominant phase dating to the early Roman period. Undated features that were unable to be dated by material culture and have been assigned to this phase. It may be possible to assign these features to a phase given their location and potential relationship to other features; however, the lack of material culture and the relative short time period represented on the site makes assigning these to a phase difficult and potentially misleading. The number of finds recovered was unusually low considering the volume of archaeology present. The ceramic assemblage was slightly abraded, but in a predominantly fragmentary state suggesting deposition occurred in small quantities and had not been moved significantly by later disturbance. A relatively coherent site narrative can be constructed from the results of the evaluation, however the low density of finds present and the nature of archaeological evaluation leaves significant questions unanswered. The overall results of the trenching went well beyond the potential suggested in the background research and the preceding geophysical survey, even with the lack of dating evidence.
