Abstract:		 In February 2008, Archaeological Solutions conducted an archaeological evaluation and watching brief of land at Bridge House Dairies, Worlington Road, Mildenhall, Suffolk (NGR TL 7088 7415). The investigations were undertaken in response to a planning condition (F/2007/0871/RMA) attached to the residential redevelopment of the site. The evaluation revealed predominantly pits (sealed features) with some ditches. Very few post holes were revealed. A few natural features, mainly tree hollows, were recorded. The largest number of features occured in Trenches 16, 18, 19, 20. A substantial ditch was recorded in Trench 19, F1020, and it may equate to Ditch F1021 (Tr1). Lesser ditches, F1017 and F1019 (Tr.1) may be equated to Ditches F1059 and F1060 (Tr 19). Pit F1073, Trench 17, contained a curious chalk lining. In Trench 12 the form of Pits F1083, F1085, F1094 and F1096 (large, steep sided and flat bottomed) were reminiscent of Iron Age storage pits. Many of the features contained finds, principally pottery and animal bone. Very small quantities of struck and burnt flint were found in many features. The majority of features date to the Iron Age period. Two ditches (F1017; watching brief and F1077 Tr. 17 produced Bronze Age- Iron Age pottery. One feature, Pit F1087 L1088 (Tr. 11) was Roman. A few pieces of struck flint occured in numerous features suggestive of prehistoric activity. It is noted in the background that the site lies in an important topographic location for prehistoric activity; in particular, being within the Lark Valley on the edge of the higher chalkland above the former wetland fens to the north and north-west. In the event the evaluation revealed the remains of an Iron Age site, likely originally substantial.
