Abstract:		 Archaeological trial trench evaluation carried out by Pre-Construct Archaeology on land at the Sugar Beet Factory, Sproughton, Suffolk (NGR TM 135 448) between the 10th and the 20th July 2017 and additional trenching 29th November.. The archaeological work was commissioned by Ipswich Borough Council in prior to proposed development and ground remediation works on the site. The aim of the work was to characterise the archaeological potential of the proposed development area. The earliest activity was evidenced by a ring gully, key-hole oven and a rubbish deposit within a natural hollow. Small sherds of pottery tentatively dated to the prehistoric period were recovered from the oven, along with struck flints dating to the Mesolithic/Neolithic period - flints dating to this period were also recovered from the ring gully. Due to the form of the ring gully and oven it is believed that these features date to the Iron Age period, despite the lack of supporting cultural material. Industrial material and a significant number of seeds were recovered from the oven and the natural hollow, suggesting that these features were contemporary. The majority of the site has been heavily truncated and landscaped by modern activity, predominantly relating to the former sugar beet factory that occupied the site in the latter 20th century.
