Abstract:		 Although both of these sites were badly damaged by ploughing, samples for mollusc analysis were obtained from subsoil hollows and a palaeosol under peat at Feltwell, and from similar subsoil hollows at Methwold. The palaeosol had formed on calcareous marl, which produced a sparse mollusc assemblage indicating deposition in an open marshy local environment. The A horizon of the soil included mollusca indicative of wooded conditions, principally Carychium spp, Discus rotundatus and Zonitidae. Subsoil hollows at both sites produced similar assemblages dominated by woodland snails with some freshwater and marsh taxa. They are thought to have been tree--throw holes. Vallonia costata was consistently present, and at Methwold comprised up to 22% of total shells. Some localised disturbance of woodland is thought to be represented, but not wholesale clearance.
