Abstract:		 A watching brief was held at Saxon Place, Icknield Way, Thetford during a development for housing which replaced a 1950s housing estate. Saxon Place was known to be of high archaeological potential as it was situated within the known boundaries of the Late Saxon town. Evidence of Late Saxon activity was prolific. The archaeology took the form of large numbers of pits and post holes and also included evidence of both clay and mortar floors, cobbled surfaces, hearth/furnace sites and inhumations. The Saxon Place site was a relatively densely occupied site within the Late Saxon town and was dated to the 10th and 11th centuries. Earlier activity was minimal with relatively low densities of Mesolithic and Late Neolithic/Early Bronze Age flintwork. Romano-British activity was represented by stray finds. No certain medieval occupation of the site was identified and the settlement appeared to have been abandoned shortly after 1066. Medieval finds from the post Saxon layers may have represented some limited medieval activity on the site. [Au(abr)]
