Flood zones: Although possibly preserved below the depth of impact, palaeoenvironmental evidence is anticipated within the flood plain of the River Deben in particular; as well as potential for buried land surfaces, and former coastal features such as prehistoric fish traps or post-medieval salterns. There is a low potential for settlement evidence within these zones
•
The raised ‘shoulder’ of well-drained, dry land overlooking the River Deben is of particular archaeological potential, as follows:
•
Kirton: East of Kirton are numerous cropmarks indicating preserved evidence for landscape divisions that do not relate to that currently in place. The aerial photograph assessment carried out as part of the Environmental Impact Assessment also indicates a rectilinear ditched enclosure, linear ditched features, and oval and rectilinear enclosures at this location. These have been interpreted as later prehistoric or Roman in date. The cropmarks may or may not represent settlement and, as such, their significance is uncertain
•
South of Waldringfield: Aerial photograph assessment suggests further landscape division pre-dating the late medieval/ post medieval enclosure. Previous Bronze Age activity is also recorded in this area, through aerial photograph evidence
•
North ofWaldringfield: Substantial cropmarks identified through aerial photograph assessment are interpreted as a probable Iron Age/Roman settlement. Previous Bronze Age activity is recorded in this area, through aerial photograph evidence
The potential for archaeological remains in these areas, as indicated by aerial photograph studies, is high. The results of any geophysical surveys in these areas would be directly compared with the results of these.

Martlesham: The South East Suffolk Survey has identified the potential for evidence relating to multi-phase activity south of Church Lane
South of Seckford Hall: Artefact recovery indicates the potential for preserved prehistoric remains
Little Bealings: To the north of Little Bealings the South East Suffolk Survey fieldwalking programme identified artefacts from the early prehistoric, later prehistoric, Roman and Anglo Saxon periods. The concentration of artefacts recorded suggests buried archaeological remains at this location
