Abstract:		 The results of archaeological monitoring of groundworks associated with the construction of Park House on the former site of Stable Cottage, Hall Road, Great Melton, Norfolk. The development site is located within the former grounds of Melton Hall, a demolished early 17th brick mansion with 18th to 19th century additions; the remains of which are a designated heritage asset (Grade II Listed). The Hall is situated within a post-medieval park, within which cropmark evidence has been recorded, some of which has been interpreted as the remains of medieval settlement. A small assemblage of artefacts collected during the work includes prehistoric flints, Late Saxon to medieval pottery sherds, butchered animal bone from medieval pits, daub fragments, a medieval iron hinge pivot, two medieval horseshoe nails, a 19th century clay tobacco pipe, a waistcoat buckle, three late post-medieval buttons and a Victorian farthing. The earliest human activity at the site is represented by a handful of prehistoric flints of likely late Neolithic to Bronze Age date, collected in the general area of the new house. Evidence for medieval activity was recorded across the site and included several land divisions in the open field immediately south of Great Melton Hall. This was represented by a series of wide V-shaped ditches established as early as the 11th century, becoming infilled by the 13th century. An area of natural clay just to the south of the Hall was subject to deep extraction pits in the same period. A good example of a hone stone of 11th to 13th century date and a near complete copper-alloy medieval horse harness bell pendant of likely 12th century date were both collected from medieval deposits in the area of the new house.
