Abstract:		 NPS Archaeology was commissioned by RenEnergy to carry out archaeological monitoring of three sets of groundworks for the installation of cabling for 450kw ground-mounted photovoltaic solar arrays at Langham Airfield, Norfolk (TF 9887 4198). The site of the installations is inside a World War Two RAF airfield base, and the potential existed for heritage assets associated with this period of use to be impacted by the development. There was limited additional potential for previously unidentified archaeological remains that pre-dated the use of the site as an airfield, such as historical field systems, to be present. Monitoring of the excavation of the cable trenches took place on 24 March and 30 April 2015. Approximately 225m of trenches was excavated. There were limited exposures of geological deposits and a layer of subsoil was the only archaeological deposit recorded. The monitoring did not identify any evidence of activity pre-dating the airfield nor of its use during World War Two. The only finds recovered were recent items related to agriculture and poultry farming.
