Summary. Archaeological monitoring took place at 4 St Catherine’s Road, Long Melford, Suffolk ahead of the construction of a new two-storey extension. There is a large Late Iron Age-Roman settlement in Long Melford, as well as notable Roman activity within the immediate vicinity of the development site. A possible former yard surface and a wall foundation were recorded, evidence of earlier activity at the property from at least the 19th century.
