Abstract:		 The evaluation fieldwork comprised the excavation of 28 trenches (Fig. 3) measuring 30m x 2.2m. The trenches were located to test geophysical anomalies and to provide a representative sample of the remainder of the site. The trench layout was agreed with Rachael Abraham of SCCAS. Trenches 1, 2, 7 and 8 were moved slightly to the north to avoid damaging crop on the remainder of the field. Trenches were set out on OS National Grid co-ordinates using Leica GPS. Overburden was stripped from the trenches by a mechanical excavator fitted with a toothless grading bucket. All machining was conducted under archaeological supervision to the top of the natural substrate, which was the level at which archaeological features were first encountered. Archaeological features/deposits were investigated, planned and recorded in accordance with CA Technical Manual 1: Fieldwork Recording Manual. Deposits were assessed for their palaeoenvironmental potential, and samples were taken in accordance with CA Technical Manual 2: The Taking and Processing of Environmental and Other Samples from Archaeological Sites. Artefacts were processed in accordance with CA Technical Manual 3: Treatment of Finds Immediately after Excavation. CA will make arrangements with the SCCAS Store for the deposition of the project archive and, subject to agreement with the legal landowner(s), the artefact collection. A digital archive will also be prepared and deposited with the Archaeology Data Service (ADS). The archives (museum and digital) will be prepared and deposited in accordance with Standard and guidance for the creation, compilation, transfer and deposition of archaeological archives (CIfA 2014; updated October 2020). The evaluation was also in line with the Management of Research Projects in the Historic Environment (MORPHE): Project Planning Note 3 (English Heritage 2008), the Management of Research Projects in the Historic Environment (MORPHE): Project Manager’s Guide (EH 2006), Suffolk County Council Archaeological Service’s evaluation guidance (SCCAS 2020, updated 2022), Standards for Field Archaeology in the East of England (Gurney 2003). A summary of information from this project, as set out in Appendix D, will be entered onto the OASIS online database of archaeological projects in Britain. The evaluation identified three main phases of activity. These included Prehistoric (Middle Bronze Age) field systems along with two ring ditches which were identified on the geophysical survey. A later occupation dating to the Middle Iron Age period was identified towards the road at the west and post-Medieval quarrying activity was encountered around the south, east and west of the site.
