Abstract:		 An archaeological excavation and watching brief were conducted by NPS Archaeology for UK Power Networks during groundworks associated with the installation of a replacement underground cable at St Mary's church and the Old Rectory, School Hill, Tasburgh, Norfolk. The archaeological work was required because of the site's location within the area of the scheduled monument of Tasburgh Iron Age hill fort. Although the cable trenches were quite extensive and deep enough to expose natural geology in places, their narrow width made any identification and testing of possible archaeological features problematic. The few artefacts recovered suggested it was unlikely that any archaeological features were present within the areas examined. A single pottery sherd recovered during the course of the works was either Iron Age or Early Saxon in date. Previous excavations at the hill fort have produced 43 sherds of Iron Age pottery, but only one sherd of Early Saxon pottery (found in the churchyard in 1978). The pottery sherd may thus be only the second example of Early Saxon pottery found from the hill fort, but perhaps more likely it is of Iron Age date and therefore derived from the period of Iron Age activity already known at the site. Overall, the archaeological work provided little significant evidence of previous activity.
