Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation and excavation was carried out in advance of redevelopment on land to the rear of 40 Peckham Street, Bury St Edmunds. The excavation lay wholly within a single medieval burgage plot which was in existence from at least the 12th century and the boundaries of which had remained largely fixed to the present day. The archaeological evidence indicates that the site was once part of a working yard where cottage-scale industry took place. Multiple ovens both for baking and the drying of grain for malting were found together with steeping pits and querns for malt grinding. Sunken troughs and tubs for the working and storage of lime putty probably for the production of plasters were found in conjunction with discarded processing waste from the working of cattle and goat horns and within the environmental samples, charred cereal grains and hammer-scale were ubiquitous. The density of features suggested that the site was at its busiest and most productive between the 12th-16th centuries, the archaeological evidence for this activity tails off from about 17th century and gone by the mid-18th. The site is significant for the understanding the layout of medieval town plots and the nature of the medieval industry and commerce within the urban centres. By the study of the findings of the site it is hoped to clarify the exact medieval trades and crafts were being practised on the site and characterise the features that these industries leave behind within the archaeological record.
