Abstract:		 An evaluation of 99 trenches ranging in length from 10-30m x 1.8m In November 2021, Cotswold Archaeology Suffolk carried out an archaeological evaluation of land at Shepherds Grove, Stanton, Suffolk. The evaluation comprised of 106 trenches, but due to the high level of disturbance identified across the southern area of the site from the construction and subsequent demolition of the airfield only ninety-nine trenches were opened. Archaeological remains were identified in eight of the trenches, finds recovered across the site were generally low, with most features devoid of datable material. Prehistory was represented by a probable burnt mound feature identified in Trench 2, with four associated pits which also appear in Trench 3. The post-medieval activity identified on site was a ditch creating an enclosure which was identified in trenches 24, 26 and 29 which appears to have been in use very recently. The final three identified features were undated pits which appeared to survive within small pockets of preservation in the southern area of the site. Due to the previous activity on the site the majority of the site was severally impacted with very little of the archaeological horizon intact in the south, with only small pockets of the horizon appeared to be preserved across the previous airfield, with the northern area of the site was far less impacted with modern disturbance. Due to the poor preservation identified at the site it suggests that there is limited archaeological activity preserved within the bounds of the site, with only the northern area producing any features of significance. But it is worth noting that this site is not reflective of the surrounding area.
