Summary. Archaeological monitoring was carried out at the former British Telecom Local Communications Services site, on land between Handford Road and Bibb Way, Ipswich, Suffolk during the excavation of service trenches prior to residential development. An archaeological condition was placed on the development after fragments of disarticulated human bone were found during groundworks. Monitoring revealed three more fragments of disarticulated human bone, but no archaeological features were uncovered as groundworks only impacted modern topsoil.
