Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	An archaeological evaluation, excavation and monitoring were carried out on land adjacent to Alnesbourn Crescent, , Ipswich, in advance of development. The aim of the work was initially to characterise the archaeological potential of the site, and then to preserve by record any archaeological remains which would be damaged or destroyed by the new development. The excavation identified an Early Bronze Age pit containing placed deposits of approximately half a Beaker vessel and a flint knife; these finds are likely to have been grave goods accompanying a burial but no trace of bone survived in the site's acidic soil. The 'Beaker pit' was located very close to the projected centre of a cropmark ring-ditch which was thought to exist on site prior to the excavation. However, in the event no ring-ditch or burial mound was found. The Beaker pit was surrounded by a small hedged enclosure; this was surrounded in turn by a larger rectilinear ditched enclosure with several entranceways, which may also have been of Early Bronze Age date. Later land use was represented by successive field boundary ditches. Despite excavating slots equivalent to at least half of each ditch, few finds were present. However, based on shared alignments with field boundaries at other excavated sites in the vicinity, the ditches are likely to be later prehistoric (Middle to Late Bronze Age) and Iron Age to Romano-British in date.
