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.
