Abstract:		 In February 2022, Cotswold Archaeology carried out an archaeological evaluation of land at Coldfair Green, Aldringham cum Thorpe, Suffolk (centred at NGR: 643876 261007; Fig. 1). The evaluation was commissioned by Tim Drummond of T4, on behalf of Northumbrian Water Ltd and was undertaken prior to them submitting a planning application East Suffolk Council (ESC).The Brief specified that the trenched evaluation should involve the opening up of 5% by area of the c.2 hectares site which equates to a combined trench length of c.560m (19 x 30m long, 1.8m wide trenches). However, a line search undertaken to identify Health and Safety concerns recorded a number of live services, including an overhead electricity cable, which reduced the available area of the site for trenching to c.1.25 hectares, as a buffer zone must be maintained between working plant and the services. On that basis, it was agreed with SCCAS (Rachael Abraham) that the number of trenches could be reduced to reflect a 5% by area cover of the available part of the site, a combined trench length of 345m at 1.8m wide (11 x 30m long and 1 x 15m long trenches) (Fig. 3). Twelve trenches were excavated, with archaeology recorded in seven of these. The archaeological features identified were predominantly ditches, gullies and a single small pit. These remains mainly relate to land demarcation and other agricultural activities associated with a rural landscape setting and can be dated to the medieval period and later. The small and abraded ceramic assemblage may have been derived from manuring and suggests that the area was somewhat peripheral to settlement focus, the closest of which could have been Cherry Tree Farm immediately to the west which may have medieval origins.
