Abstract:		 Between 18th August and the 9th September 2015, Oxford Archaeology East undertook a metal-detecting survey and trenched archaeological evaluation at land off Beeches Road, West Row, Mildenhall, Suffolk. The metal-detecting survey yielded artefacts dating from the Late Roman period to the early 20th century, including 12 Roman coins. Evaluation trenches were excavated, revealing a well-defined area of Roman settlement, broadly corresponding to the coin scatter from the metal detecting survey. The core of the Roman settlement included a network of inter-cutting ditches, rubbish pits, a possible well, and a metalled surface which was covered by a thick deposit of artefact-rich 'dark earth'. The quantity and range of artefacts point towards a relatively wealthy or high status farmstead-type settlement, dating from the 2nd to 4th century AD with roof tile, floor tile and box-flue tile suggesting the presence of a structure with underfloor heating in the vicinity. An articulated inhumation was also discovered but left in-situ. Evidence for medieval activity was found to the west of the Roman occupation, along the frontage of Beeches Road. A series of shallow pits and ditches yielded occasional fragments of medieval pottery. A background scatter of prehistoric pottery and worked flint was also recovered, mainly from periglacial hollows and tree throws.
