Abstract:		 Between January and February 2009, Archaeological Solutions Ltd (AS) undertook an archaeological strip, map, and sample excavation at the proposed reservoir, Mangreen Hall Farm, Swardeston, Norfolk (TG 2196 0346). The excavation was undertaken in advance of the digging of a water reservoir. A series of archaeological investigations were undertaken at the quarry site to the immediate south of the proposed reservoir. A desk based assessment (Prosser 2002), field walking (Grant 2003), a geophysical survey (Stratascan 2003), and a trial trench evaluation (Keir and Roberts 2003) were undertaken between 2002 and 2003. The evaluation revealed a low density of undated ditches, gullies and pits. Between May and June 2008, AS undertook archaeological monitoring and recording at the quarry site. Archaeological features comprised seven pits, two postholes, and four ditches. The pits were prehistoric, probably Iron Age. Bronze Age and early Roman pottery was also recovered in small quantities. The ditches were possibly post-medieval. The current excavation at the adjoining reservoir site revealed 22 features. The principal feature was a circular enclosure ditch, which encompassed six graves. The latter contained at least seven human skeletons and a sheep dating to the Roman period. Other datable features comprised a prehistoric pit and two post-medieval ditches. The remaining three pits, two postholes, six ditches, and one tree hollow were undated.
