Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation by fieldwalking survey, test-pitting and trial-trenching was carried out along the proposed route of an Anglian Water pipeline route from Isleham to Mildenhall. On the basis of the results from this evaluation two excavations were conducted near Mildenhall. Fieldwalking finds consisted of pottery, ceramic building material, flint, metalwork and coins. These were found throughout the route and there was a concentration of Roman finds at the eastern end of the fieldwalking corridor. Test-pitting only took place in the Cambridgeshire part of the pipeline. The test pits revealed wide variations in the depth of the topsoil and subsoil. However, very few finds were recovered during the excavation of these test pits. The evaluation trenches uncovered a possible flint surface to the north of the River Lark. Remains of parts of Roman co-axial field-system were also found in the vicinity of the northern bank of the river and at the eastern end of the pipeline. One of the excavations investigated the possible flint surface. This excavation revealed that the surface was probably a layer of colluvial material. A human mandible, radiocarbon dated to the Bronze Age, was found to be embedded into the top of this layer. This excavation also uncovered the remains of the Romano-British co-axial field-system. The other excavated area contained several Romano-British features, one of which was probably structural, and associated artefacts. The Roman pottery and human bone have the potential for further study. The environmental data gathered may also be of great interest in reconstructing the archaeological landscape in the vicinity of the River Lark.
