Summary. Archaeological monitoring was carried out on land to the north of Rectory House, Waldingfield Road, Acton, Suffolk during groundworks for a new access road and service trench. As well as being located in an area of archaeological interest, a Roman road is projected to cross the development site. Monitoring revealed two ditches, one of possible late prehistoric date. The Roman road was not identified, but it may have been dug away when the late 19th-century pond was constructed, or alternatively it may be located further to the east or west of the development site.
