Abstract:		 In June 2015 Archaeological Solutions (AS) carried out an archaeological trial trench evaluation of land at Norwich Road, Hingham, Norfolk (NGR TG 0280 0209). It is proposed to construct a residential development of 88 homes with new roads and landscaping. Norfolk County Council Historic Environment Team (NCC HES) advised the Local Planning Authority that a trial trench evaluation of the site should be carried out in accordance with a planning condition attached to approval for the development (South Norfolk Council Planning Ref. 2014/2322/F), in order to identify the presence of any archaeological remains for which further mitigation may be required. A previous geophysical survey revealed no anomalies judged to be of archaeological significance (Parker 2013). The trial trench evaluation revealed 24 archaeological features (11 ditches, 2 gullies, 9 possible pits, 1 post hole and 1 stake hole), Tree Hollow F1023 (Trench 16) and modern plough scars (Trenches 2 and 8). Some of the `archaeological features' were irregular (Pits F1035 and F1037 (Trench 7), Pits F1025 and F1026 (Trench 9) and Pit F1005 (Trench 16)) and may be natural features. Finds were extremely sparse. An abraded sherd of medieval (12th - 13th / 14th century) pottery was found in the topsoil. Pit F1045 (Trench 3) and Ditch F1053 (Trench 6) contained animal bone. An environmental sample from Pit F1045 contained no carbonised remains of cereals and no indicative merit for further field work. Overall the recorded features are consistent with agricultural activity. The lack of dating evidence inhibits comment and suggests that the features are not domestic.
