Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	In September and November 2008 and March 2009 Archaeological Solutions Ltd conducted an archaeological fieldwalking and metal detector survey at two separate areas of land (Area A and Area B) at Shropham Quarry, Norfolk (NGR TL 9900 9420). An archaeological desk-based assessment had been previously undertaken (Doyle, 2008). The assessment and fieldwalking were undertaken as part of the Environmental Statement being prepared for the site, for proposed sand and gravel extraction. Previous archaeological investigations to the immediate west and north-west of the site revealed extensive evidence of Neolithic and Bronze Age activity and occupation on the hilltop, which possibly served as a ceremonial focus point. Area B of the site is thought to have the highest potential for similarly-dated remains given its proximity to the known occupation evidence. The eastern area of the site, Area A, is known to have yielded finds of a single Neolithic pottery rim sherd and a Neolithic of Bronze Age flint knife. Little is known of the site in later periods, other than that it formed part of the Corporation of Norwich land located well-beyond the northern extent of Shropham village. The fieldwalking revealed two concentrations of flint, mostly burnt but some struck. The most obvious was in the south-west corner of Area B and the other was in the northern part of Area A. The distribution of the struck flint and burnt fling is directly comparable in both areas to geophysical anomolies that possibly represent rectilinear enclosures. Therefore there is the potential for archaeological remains at these parts of the site.
