Abstract:		 An excavation to further investigate the known but hitherto undated Norfolk/Suffolk county boundary ditch was carried out in October 2015, with a view to collecting suitable sample material for Optical Spin Luminescence analysis and dating. The excavation of a new cross-section across the boundary revealed a similar profile to that seen in previous fieldwork, with a sequence of ditch cuts showing a boundary slightly shifting over time towards the north. The lack of a finds assemblage continues to suggest that the boundary is not immediately associated with any area of settlement and it is still assumed that later deposits in the stratigraphic sequence are of a medieval or post-medieval date, the boundary surviving as a tree/ fence line in the late 19th century. A date for the origin of the boundary is still uncertain, despite the acquisition of two dates from Optical Spin Luminescence analysis of two separate samples. A tentative Anglo-Saxon date of 615 to 815 AD has been given for one of the earlier fills in the stratigraphic sequence but the validity of this result is dubious, it being stratigraphically contradictory to the second result which implies that neither date can be relied upon.
