Abstract:		 In February 2012 AS carried out an archaeological excavation on land south of 21 Ashwicken Road, Pott Row, Grimston, Norfolk (TF 7055 2175). The excavation was undertaken in compliance with a planning condition attached to a planning permission to construct a residential bungalow (Borough Council of King's Lynn and West Norfolk Planning Application No. 08/01578/O: HES Ref. CNF 41945).. This area, was excavated in the 1960s, titled Site 1016, and the site lies incorporates excavated Areas C, G and H (NHER 1016, Leah 1994). Eighteen features were excavated, principally ditches. Stratigraphically Pit F1036 was the earliest feature, and it contained Late Saxon - medieval pottery. Ditches F1010, F1016, F1018, and F1030 all shared similar alignments (northwest/southeast) and profiles, broadly parallel to Ashwicken Road. The excavated evidence is consistent with the finding of the previous excavations in Pott Row. The excavation of Area 1, Site 1016, in 1970-71 revealed a series of ditches orientated northwest/southeast, roughly parallel with the alignment of Ashwicken Road. These ditches were grouped together leaving small strips of land in between and were interpreted as a series of re-cut boundary lines. This pattern of ditches is replicated within the current excavation where Ditches F1010, F1016, F1018 and F1028 had similar orientations. They also have broad, shallow profiles similar to those excavated in 1970-71. The area between the ditches of the earlier excavation produced evidence of post-built structures but such structural evidence was absent in the current excavation. The principal finds comprises medieval pottery. L1041 contained pottery waster. In addition to the pottery fired clay rods associated with pottery kilns were found. Not surprising for a pottery production site few other associated finds were present; just some animal bone and shell.
