Abstract:		 In May 2019 Archaeological Solutions Limited (AS) carried out an archaeological trial trench evaluation of land east of Station Road, Quidenham, Norfolk (NGR TM 0191 8981; Figs. 1 - 2). The evaluation was undertaken to provide for the initial requirements of a planning condition attached to planning approval to construct 24 dwellings (Breckland Council Planning Ref. 3PL/2017/1608/D). It was undertaken based on the advice of Norfolk County Council Historic Environment Service (NCC HES). An area close by to the south in Quidenham Park has revealed significant early Saxon finds which include brooches and evidence of brooch production. Such sites are rare and significant and can often be dispersed. A few of the trial trenches, Numbers 1 and 8, contained no archaeological features. That said, it was not always easy to distinguish between natural features and archaeological features; for example, in Trench 9 the features were irregular in plan and profile and were likely natural except perhaps F1079. Only the latter contained a find (a Roman pottery sherd). The number of features per trench varied from 2 - 7, and features were more dense towards the southern end of the site. Slightly more linear features (ditches, re-cuts, gullies and ditch terminals) were present (19), compared to discrete features (pits and post holes). Finds were sparse and consisted of prehistoric flint, Roman pottery and a fragment of Roman CBM.
