Abstract:		 The SCCAS Brief specified that the trenched evaluation would involve the opening up of 4% by area of phases 1a, 1b, 2c and 3 (c.14.5 hectares). In addition, c.1.2% by area of Phase 2b (3.5 hectares) was opened with the trenches entirely targeting geophysical anomalies. It is expected that at some point in the future SCCAS will require further trenching in Phase 2b that will bring it in line with the 4% by area attained elsewhere. The evaluation fieldwork comprised the excavation of 117 trenches (1 x 15m x 2.20m trench and 116 x 30m x 2.20 trenches). The trenches were targeted over anomalies prospected during the geophysical survey while also providing a representative sample of the entire site. Metal detector searches were undertaken throughout the project and the location of the metal finds recovered was recorded by GPS. From August 8th to September 16th, 2022 Cotswold Archaeology (CA) carried out a preapplication archaeological evaluation at Brockley Wood, Belstead, Suffolk. One hundred and seventeen trenches were excavated. Archaeological features were recorded in forty-six trenches. In addition to a Bronze Age palstave retrieved from a ditch, a number of features containing prehistoric (both Bronze Age and Iron Age) pottery were identified, mostly in the central part of the main area of evaluation. Later activity was sparse and included medieval and post-medieval pits and ditches, mainly located in the south part of the main area of investigation. More recent activity was largely focused on the western access to the proposed mineral extraction area. This includes kilns and a possible oven suggesting industrial activity within the area during the post-medieval and modern period.
