Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	An archaeological evaluation (six trial-trenches) was carried out at Ashe Park House, Ashe Park, Ivy Lodge Road, Campsea Ashe, Suffolk in advance of the construction of a conservation lake. The trenches were 15m-20m long by 1.8m wide. This equated to 100m of linear trenches, covering an area of 180m² (a 5% sample of the site). The trenches were mechanically excavated under archaeological supervision. All archaeological horizons were excavated and recorded according to the WSI. In addition to the WSI, all fieldwork and reporting was done in accordance with Management of Research Projects in the Historic Environment (MoRPHE) (Historic England 2016), and with Standards for field archaeology in the East of England (EAA 14 and 24). This report mirrors standards and practices contained in the Institute for Archaeologists’ Standard and guidance for archaeological field evaluation (CIfA 2014a) and Standard and guidance for the collection, documentation, conservation and research of archaeological materials (CIfA 2014b), Code of conduct (CIfA 2014c) as well as the SCCAS Requirements for a Trenched Archaeological Evaluation (SCCAS 2021). Of the four features uncovered, only two contained any datable finds. F1 contained some residual prehistoric flint flakes and two small fragments of pottery which provide a terminus post quem of the early medieval period. It is uncertain as to whether the medieval pottery is also residual or not as to whether the feature was cut before the park was established or contemporary with it. Pit F3 could potentially be prehistoric in date based on two flint flakes. However these may also be residual as those in F1. If prehistoric, pit F3 would be significant as there are no previous records of prehistoric features within 1km of the development area. As the site is located within historic parkland, tree-throws like F4 are to be expected.
