73. Much prehistoric material is not chronologically distinctive and such material located within the Study Area may relate indicate activity from the Neolithic to the Iron Age (WA101, 139, 144, 146, 150, 151, 154, 155, 190, 198, 228, 231, 249, 266, 267, 281, 282, 293, 303, 305, 309, 319, 336, 346, 361, 371, 377, 386, 406, 416, 444-446, 462, 592).
1.5.4.3 Iron Age and Romano-British 74. A number of Iron Age finds have been located throughout the Study Area (WA86, 299, 136, 143, 157, 266, 277, 291, 406, 432, 447, 452 484, 504, 505, 507, 514, 523, 531, 532, 564, 570), some of this material apparently in conjunction with Roman material, perhaps indicative of continuity between communities (WA337, 342 456). It is also probable that some the undated field systems and trackways (see section above) may relate to activity within either or both of these periods.
75.
Iron Age features have been revealed during work on the Martlesham by-pass (WA351) and to the south-west of Woodbridge (WA373). Iron Age material was recovered from the Rookery Mound site (WA396) though it is not clear whether in situ features were found. Finds and features suggesting settlement from the Iron Age into the Romano-British period was also discovered during the construction of the Claydon by-pass. (WA544). A possible Iron Age pit was located during work at Notcutts Nursery in Martlesham (WA346) and Iron Age activity was also encountered at the Blood Hill excavations (WA560).

Though there is currently no evidence for formal, planned Roman towns in Suffolk though a number of small urban settlements are known (Hegarty and Newsome 2005, 48). Much of the ecomonic and administrative activity within the county are thought to have been focused on the road network (ibid.) and a length of Roman road just to the west of Bramford passes thourgh the Study Area (WA552). It represents a section of the route from Camulodunum (Colchester) to Venta Icenorum (near Norwich), passing through the known Roman settlement of Coddenham which lies some 4.8km to the north of the Study Area.
77.
Felixstowe, which lies just to the south of the eastern end of the Study Area was a known Roman port and 2nd to 4th century material has been discovered in the area of Brackenbury Fort. Walton which lies within Felixstowe is also the location of a late 3rd century Saxon Shore fort.

The largest and most sophisticated villa complex known in Suffolk, Castle Hill, lies just to the south of Study Area in Whitton, in north-west Ipswich. Excavations have
