Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation, consisting of the excavation of nine trenches, was carried out at land south of New Road, Attleborough, Norfolk, at the pre-planning application stage. Archaeological features were identified in six trenches, with the remaining three being empty. The evaluation has identified widespread evidence of medieval and post-medieval agricultural activity, and some evidence for medieval settlement activity, characterised by northwest-southeast ditches dating to between the 11th-14th centuries, and northeast-southwest ditches dating to the between the 18th-20th centuries or earlier. Prior to evaluation, possible earthworks were observed on aerial photographs in the eastern part of the site; These were suspected to represent post-medieval drainage ditches, possibly relating to a toft or house platform of medieval date, but the evaluation did not reveal any evidence for a man-made bank or for structural remains. Dating evidence was scarce within these ditches, although a single piece of fired clay was identified as possibly being part of a medieval oven. The upper fills contained evidence for backfilling during the post-medieval period, but the possibility of the ditches being in use during the medieval period cannot be discounted.
