Abstract:		 On the 29th July 2021, Britannia Archaeology Ltd (BA) undertook a trial trenching evaluation on behalf of Peter Wells Architects. The archaeological work was required as a condition of application DC/20/5045/FUL, for the construction of 3 detached dwellings with carports/garages and new shared vehicular access at Land at Manor Farm, The Manor Farm Estate, Bawdsey, Suffolk (TM 3452 4068). The site had a high potential for features and finds relating to the cropmarks present on the site. The potential for features and finds relating to the post-medieval period was moderate to high. Despite this potential no archaeological features were present. The evaluation encountered a substantial, sterile colluvial deposit starting medially within Trench 1 and running down the trench to the south-east. This colluvial deposit sat within an observed large dry valley, starting within the agricultural field directly to the west of the site and running on a west - east alignment towards The Street. The steep incline of this valley would make the presence and alignment of the ditches visible on the cropmark evidence unlikely, as these linears would run obliquely to (and through) the slope of the dry valley. It is more likely that the cropmarks are located on the more level ground conducive to settlement to the north or west of the site. Both topsoil and subsoil layers present contained modern brick fragments, with subsoil producing several 20th century tent hoop fragments, possibly associated with the nearby World War 2 activity. This was not collected in OASIS IV when this record was originally createdOn the 29th July 2021, Britannia Archaeology Ltd (BA) undertook a trial trenching evaluation on behalf of Peter Wells Architects. The archaeological work was required as a condition of application DC/20/5045/FUL, for the construction of 3 detached dwellings with carports/garages and new shared vehicular access at Land at Manor Farm, The Manor Farm Estate, Bawdsey, Suffolk (TM 3452 4068). A design brief issued by Suffolk County Council Archaeological Service (SCCAS) (Baker, M. 25th May 2021) required a programme of linear trial trenching to sample the area threatened by the development. The sample was achieved by excavating two 30.00m x 1.80m trenches and a single 20.00m x 1.80m trench. The site had a high potential for features and finds relating to the cropmarks present on the site. The potential for features and finds relating to the post-medieval period was moderate to high. Despite this potential no archaeological features were present.
