Abstract:		 This report describes the results of an archaeological trial trench evaluation and geophysical survey carried out by Pre-Construct Archaeology on land off Hill Farm Road, Farnham, Suffolk, IP17 1LU (NGR TM 367 594) between the 24th and the 28th August 2015. The archaeological work was commissioned by Strutt and Parker prior to the redevelopment of the site as a reservoir. The aim of the work was to characterise the archaeological potential of the proposed development area. The principal result of the evaluation was the identification of two phases of field boundaries; one aligned northeast to southwest forming a larger complex of rectilinear field systems, aligned north to south, in the north of the site (Trenches 1 and 12-14). These ditches produced sherds of pottery dating from the Bronze Age and Iron Age periods. The second set of field boundaries were aligned northeast to southwest (present in Trenches 1-3 and 5) which formed a series of rectilinear field systems. A further modern field boundary was present running across the site from the northwest to the southeast (Trenches 2, 3, 7 and 8). This remnant field boundary was shown on the 1883 OS map of the area and produced a small amount of animal bone. The geophysical survey identified a number of positive linear anomalies eight of which were identified in the evaluation. These features, initially presumed to be furrows, were located in Trenches 6, 8 and 10. Upon the excavation of these features proved to be wider and deeper than would be expected for furrows and are likely to be later boundary ditches and associated pits.
