Summary. An archaeological evaluation (four trial-trenches) was carried out at Moorlands Barn, Blackhouse Lane, Great Cornard, Suffolk in advance of the construction of two new detached dwellings. The evaluation uncovered a medieval ditch, which was possibly a field boundary. The discovery of a number of sherds of medieval pottery also suggests activity or occupation at this site, or in close proximity to it, during the late 14th/15th to the early 16th century.
