Abstract:		 In December 2008 and January 2009 Archaeological Solutions Ltd carried out an archaeological evaluation in advance of the proposed residential redevelopment of land east of Days Road, Capel St Mary, Suffolk [TM 0875 3855]. The development site lies in an area of potential archaeological importance owing to its known proximity to both a Roman villa and cemetery. The desk-based assessment found scant evidence for prehistoric activity in the vicinity. Settlement at Capel St Mary appears to have occurred sometime in the immediate pre-Conquest period. By the High Medieval period the village had become a thriving, if relatively small community, remaining so into the twentieth century. The evaluation revealed evidence of two main periods of occupation at the site. Activity associated with the Iron age was concentrated in Trench 4 where a cremation (F1031), two pits (F1012 and F1014) and two small ditches/gullies (F1010 and F1020). An Iron Age pit was also located in Trench 2 and a large Iron Age Ditch (F1137) was located in Trenches 5 and 7. The majority of archaeological remains dated to the medieval period, between the 12th to the late 14th centuries. Settlement evidence, such as pits, postholes, gullies and ditches were located in Trenches 1 to 4, in the northern half of the site. In addition, possible building foundations were located in Trench 1. Two industrial features (F1036 and F1047) were cut into filled medieval ditches within Trench 3 and these may represent later medieval or post-medieval activity away from the core of the village. A post-medieval ditch (F1028) was located in the southern end of Trench 4.
