Abstract:		 Between May and August 2008, Archaeological Solutions Ltd carried out an archaeological excavation in advance of residential/ commercial development at the former Bridge House Dairies, Worlington Road, Mildenhall, Suffolk (centred on NGR TL 7088 7415). The excavation followed an earlier trial trench evaluation, which had revealed traces of Iron Age pits and boundary ditches, as well as signs of earlier prehistoric occupation. The excavation revealed four phases of prehistoric activity, spanning from the early Neolithic period to the late pre-Roman Iron Age. The principal period of activity was in the late Iron Age (100 BC - AD 43). At this time, the site was occupied by the peripheral areas of a rural settlement, the core of which probably lies immediately east of the site under the present Bridge House. The central and western areas of the site were occupied by a system of rectilinear fields or paddocks separated by tracks/ droveways, which went through several stages of evolution during its long use. The more 'open' eastern portion of the site contained dense clusters of rubbish pits, suggesting increasing proximity to 'domestic' areas. Particularly significant features included the skeleton of a young woman, which had been 'dumped' in a pit in an apparently casual manner, and several articulated animal burials (ABGs), which may represent 'special'/ 'ritual' deposits. The Iron Age site would have occupied a slightly raised promontory surrounded by marshes and floodplain along the River Lark. The settlement appears to have shifted away shortly before the Roman conquest.
