Abstract:		 Archaeological evaluation of the Phase V redevelopment at Liberty Village, RAF Lakenheath, an area of c.6.4ha, was carried out in September 2008 and January 2009. In the north-west corner of the site a ring ditch and off-centre burial, most likely of Bronze Age date, were identified, lying some 50m to the east of a previously excavated example (ERL 148). The estimated c.40m diameter extent of the ditch means that it is a larger feature than the ERL 148 ring ditch while the off-centre grave implies the potential presence of secondary burials. As with its neighbouring monument no evidence of a central barrow mound was seen, having probably been removed by ploughing. The site though is still likely to be well preserved, as it lies within an open area between the modern road and housing blocks. A recommendation has been made to excavate the c.3000 sqm area in full prior to development. The majority of the trenches across the rest of the site were largely devoid of archaeological deposits, confirming the pattern seen elsewhere in the Liberty Village development where the intensive multi-period activity known to the north and west does not extend onto the higher ground to the south. A sparse scatterl of pits and ditches with Roman, medieval and post-medieval material indicated only limited activity in the post-prehistoric period.
