Abstract:		 A programme of archaeological trial trenching was conducted on land at Barrow Heath Shooting Ground, Suffolk. Landscaping works to improve the acoustic screening for residents around the site is proposed in the southwest corner and along the access road to the existing shooting ground, with an application under preparation for submission to the local planning authority. The approximate central NGR of the site is TL 77660 65872. The site largely occupies a west facing slope on Barrow Heath, between Riseby and Barrow. To the north Bronze Age barrows and other funerary features along with scatters of artefacts have been identified during roadworks, and further scatters of prehistoric, Roman and Saxon artefacts have been recovered from the south facing slope of Barrow Heath. Geophysical survey of the site has identified mainly linear anomalies interpreted as medieval/post-medieval ridge and furrow occupying large parts of the site. A single possible ditch crossing the slope of the hill was also identified. Forty 20m trenches are positioned to investigate and confirm the results of the geophysical survey. Trenches avoided known services and existing structures on the site, and were targeted in those areas to be impacted by the landscaping proposals. The results of the evaluation proved mainly negative with only trenches 1, 3 and 36 revealing any archaeology in the form of three undated ditches and a gully.
