Abstract:		 NPS Archaeology was commissioned by Blubird Land and Planning to undertake an archaeological evaluation ahead of a new retail development on land east of Chalk Lane Narborough (TF 75095 12209). The project was undertaken pre-application to provide supporting evidence and information to accompany a planning application and to meet the requirements of a Brief issued by Norfolk Historic Environment Service. Previous archaeological works on land to the west of Chalk Lane uncovered evidence of prehistoric, Iron Age, Early Anglo-Saxon and medieval activity, suggestive of high archaeological potential. It is thought that the Devils' Dyke-an ancient linear earthwork-passes close to the evaluation site, where it bears the name Bichamditch. The evaluation was undertaken on 3 September 2015 and consisted of three trial trenches, two of which measured 30m x 1.80m, and one 20m x 1.80m. The trenches were positioned to maximise east-west coverage and provide the best opportunity to locate the Bichamditch, but no archaeological features were observed and no archaeological materials were recovered. The absence of evidence for the Bichamditch suggests that this large landscape feature passes either to the east of the evaluation site, or that it may follow the line of Chalk Lane to the west.
