Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation, involving a rapid desk-based assessment and field evaluation, was carried out on land owned by Felixstowe College. The Suffolk SMR, and recent evaluation work at Maybush Lane, adjacent to the area, indicated that there was a strong possibility of there being part of a wealthy Roman site in the area behind Tyndale House, and of medieval activity, possibly industrial, within the area of the playing field. The desk-based assessment showed that the majority of the field boundaries in the area had not changed since medieval times. Archaeological features were found in two discrete areas, in the gardens behind Tyndale House, and the south-western corner of the playing fields. Evidence was found for prehistoric activity in the shape of sherds of Neolithic pottery and pits, the first archaeological evidence that there was pre-Roman activity in that area of Felixstowe. Features relating to early medieval and medieval farming activities were also revealed. The evaluations on the site extended the known archaeological activity in the area back to pre-Roman times, and showed that the potential existed for earlier pre-medieval field systems. [Au]
