Abstract:		 An archaeological trial trench evaluation was conducted by NPS Archaeology for Darvel Developments Limited ahead of the proposed development of a site of 5.3 hectares at Old Church Road in Hainford, Norfolk as a burial ground. The trial trench evaluation consisted of 31 trenches each measuring 30m in length and 1.80m in width. Trench locations were in part informed by the results of a geophysical survey of the proposed development area. Eighteen trenches from the total of 31contained archaeological remains and 13 were archaeologically blank. A small number of prehistoric artefacts recovered from the site hint at no more than a background level of activity during this period, though several prehistoric findspots are known from the locality. The most significant remains recorded by the evaluation were of early Roman date (1st-2nd century AD) and comprised a small pit, possibly an oven or dryer in broadly the centre of the site (identified in Trench 18). This feature contained a small assemblage of Roman pottery thought to be locally produced. Part of an amber bead also of early Roman date was recovered as a residual find from the site. The geophysical survey indicated other archaeological features might be present in the vicinity of Trench 18. Little evidence of medieval activity was present at the site, though what there was would appear to be focused to the east of the site towards the medieval church of All Saints. Settlement associated with the church is suggested anecdotally to lie to the north-east of this church. The majority of features recorded at the site were ditches, interpreted as field boundaries, drainage or both. It is thought many of these ditches were broadly post-medieval in date and went out of use following the apparent enclosure of the area in the 18th and 19th centuries.
