Abstract:		 The earliest activity on site related to residual finds of struck flints that were in majority recovered from the topsoil. This evidence indicates human activity on the site during the Mesolithic to Early Neolithic and Middle Bronze Age to Iron Age periods. The primary result of the evaluation was the identification of a Late Bronze Age-Early Iron Age field system formed by a series of NNE-SSW and ENE-WSW aligned ditches. The field system represented a continuation of the activity identified immediately north of the site, in an excavation conducted by ASE in 2014.Typically for landscape divisions from this period, artefactual evidence was limited to only a few sherds of very abraded pottery. The site provides an important addition to the growing, yet still sparse, evidence for Bronze Age field systems in Suffolk. Two pits and a possible posthole belonging to this period were also identified, however their exact function is difficult to ascertain. The evaluation also identified a possible Prehistoric or Roman small enclosure ditch in Trench 57, the exact function of which is difficult to ascertain. The evaluation confirmed the presence of post-medieval boundary ditches shown on the 1886 OS Map. In addition, two post-medieval pits were also identified in Trenches 49 and 53. The evaluation found no evidence for the road depicted on the 1783 Hodskinson's map which was shown to run across the northern part of the site
