Abstract:		 This report describes the results of an archaeological trial trench evaluation carried out by Pre-Construct Archaeology on land at Westgate House, Westgate Street, Bury St Edmunds (NGR TL 85475 63726) between the 8th and 12th December 2014. The archaeological work was commissioned by CgMs Consulting Ltd in response to a planning condition attached to the construction of residential dwellings with associated access and landscaping. The aim of the work was to characterise the archaeological potential of the proposed development area by targeting areas of the site which were not sampled during a previous phase of evaluation in 2011. Three trenches were excavated. Trench 1, in the north-west of the site, contained a medieval pit and a post-medieval cess pit or well. Trench 2, in the west of the site, contained a medieval boundary ditch aligned broadly perpendicular to Friar's Lane and a post-medieval ditch on a slightly offset alignment. The earlier ditch contained a semi-complete broken pot, indicating proximity to domestic dwellings and suggesting that the ditch was the boundary of a medieval house plot fronting onto Friar's Lane. The later ditch was cut by a row of clay post-pads for a barn or outbuilding. All the features in Trench 2 were sealed by a deep garden soil. Trench 3, in the south of the site, contained no significant archaeological deposits but did show evidence of past landscaping in the gardens of Westgate House.
