PROJECT DETAILS Little Waldingfield, The Cottage, Church Road (WFL 031, TL 9232 4520) evaluation trenching at this site prior to the construction of two new dwellings revealed a ditch of medieval date 5m from the front boundary of the plot, and which ran approximately parallel to Church Road, in trench 2 while another ditch on a similar alignment and of Post medieval date was recorded in trench 1 at a distance of 12m from the front boundary. Two small postholes of Post medieval date were also recorded in trench 1 on the western side of the plot. While finds of both medieval and Post medieval date were scarce both in the features that were investigated and from the upcast spoil the medieval ditch did prove to be surprisingly rich in contemporary hearth or midden waste. In addition the fill of the ditch in trench 1 contained a small fragment of abraded Roman box flue tile as a residual find.
