Abstract:		 An archaeological watching brief was maintained by Northamptonshire Archaeology and CgMs Consulting, formerly John Samuels Archaeological Consultants, during the topsoil and subsoil strip in advance of gravel extraction at Layham Quarry, Hadleigh, Suffolk. The watching brief demonstrated that the landscape has been utilised from the Neolithic to the present day. The Neolithic period is represented by a single serrated blade from a later ditch. The earliest feature is a single Beaker period pit. There is more intensive activity in the Late Bronze Age, with a scatter of pits containing pottery and loomweights. Located within the northern part of the site are a series of ditches forming parts of a field system attributed to the Romano-British period. This landscape is then overlaid by ditches forming part of the post-medieval field system, much of which appears to have been backfilled in the modern era, with the introduction of large scale farming methods
