Abstract:		 The trial trenching revealed a range of features predominantly ditches (37) and pits (31), but also gullies (8), post holes (7) and a ?hearth (1). Every trench contained features. The majority of the features were undated. One early Iron Age feature (Tr.2 Pit F1039) and a likely residual early Iron Age sherd (Tr.6 Ditch F1020) were excavated. Medieval (11th - 13th and mid 12th - 14th century) features were recorded in Trenches 19 and 20. They were largely discrete features (pits and post holes) as opposed to ditches. Finds were sparse. Small (1-3 pieces) quantities of residual struck flint and small fragments of Roman CBM were found. The trial trenching shows a good correlation with the geophysical survey (Biggs 2011). The cropmark overlying Trench 12 was thought to represent an enclosure possibly of prehistoric date (HER 38518). In the event few prehistoric finds were present comprising sparse flint and an early Iron Age pit in Trench 2 (F1039). Iron Age and Roman field systems are known in the Stalham area, and the evaluation recorded a least one significant field system. There were insufficient finds to date this system. Along the southern boundary of the site the geophysical survey recorded a set of anomalies on a neat, rectangular alignment possibly indicative of Romano-British settlement. Trenches 19 and 20 revealed a marked increase in the presence of archaeological features and the majority were discrete features (pits). The features proved to be of medieval (11th - 13th and mid 12th - 14th century) date. The site lies outside the core medieval settlement area of Stalham but finds of medieval pottery in the surrounding fields may mean this previously extended further. The current evaluation indicates that the settlement did indeed extend further.
