Abstract:		 Excavation of two areas This archaeological excavation was successful in confirming and expanding upon the results of the 2016 trial trench evaluation. A ring ditch and enclosure, used in the prehistoric period was excavated, which may have similarities with mortuary enclosure type features found throughout Suffolk and Essex. Unfortunately no human remains were encountered to confirm this. Broadly prehistoric dating for the site has been confirmed with some evidence for an extended but albeit not intense period of use of the site. The Early Iron age dating for pit 1083 using radiocarbon dating additionally suggests at some level of continuation of the Bronze Age use of the site associated with the ring ditch. Evidence of Romano-British agriculture was investigated through a series of ditches and structures excavated at the west end of site. These finds correlate with recent finds throughout Suffolk and contribute to the growing understanding of Roman period agricultural activity in the area. The site demonstrates a change in use observed throughout Suffolk from a funerary landscape in the prehistoric period to a largely agricultural one in the Late Iron Age and Roman periods, reflecting recent discoveries on sites such as the A120 expansion. It is likely that Suffolk was more permanently settled in the Iron Age and Romano-British periods than was previously supposed.
