Abstract:		 Between June and July 2017, Archaeological Solutions Ltd (AS) carried out an archaeological excavation at land to the rear of 1-2 Chapel Cottages, Darsham (Suffolk). Based on the results of earlier archaeological investigations, including a forerunning trial trench evaluation, the site had good potential for archaeological remains, particularly for evidence of medieval settlement and economy. The excavation encountered an enclosed medieval landscape, characterised by numerous linear ditched boundaries, the majority of which mirrored the alignments of existing roads. Two phases of medieval enclosure were interpreted, constituting eight enclosures in total; a short length of trackway was also recorded, while an area of possible strip fields was identified within the north-western area of the site. Activity within/ around the medieval enclosures was represented by pit/ posthole clusters, some of which may be associated with focussed episodes of domestic refuse disposal. A possible fenceline was recorded in the north of the site, while further structural remains comprised beam-slots and a simple posthole structure, possibly a small animal pen. Additional pens or similar were represented by a gridded system of ditches in the south-west of the site. Finds and environmental evidence indicates a locally mixed agricultural economy based on the cultivation and use of cereals, primarily free-threshing type wheat, and animal husbandry. The animal bone assemblage is dominated by cattle with lesser numbers of sheep/ goat and pig. Wild taxa were only represented by a small number of fish bones and a modest marine mollusc assemblage dominated by oyster.
