Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	This report describes the results of a programme of archaeological fieldwalking survey carried out by Pre-Construct Archaeology on land at Northern Fringe, Ipswich, Suffolk (NGR TM 1646 4751) between the 3rd and the 9th of December 2015. The archaeological work was commissioned by CgMs Consulting Ltd to inform a planning application for proposed development of the site. The aim of the work was to characterise the archaeological potential of the proposed development area. Conditions for fieldwalking varied across the site area, with some smaller outlying fields unable to be surveyed due to grass and vegetation cover. A further portion of the north-west area of the site was under short crop at the time of the survey. Therefore although this area was surveyed the results from it were comparatively sparse. Where conditions were not adverse the silty nature of much of the topsoil was adequate for fieldwalking purposes. Artefact densities were moderate across the study area, and consisted primarily of post-medieval to modern pottery, ceramic building material and metalwork. Smaller assemblages of prehistoric struck flints and approximately 811g of undateable burnt flint were also recovered. The distribution of the finds in general represents no obvious patterning beyond a broad focus of burnt flint concentrations to the southwest. The volume of prehistoric material is likely to represent persistent, intermittent activity over a long period, with the bulk of the material dating to the later prehistoric period.
