Abstract:		 An archaeological trial trench evaluation was conducted for La Ronde Wright Ltd as part of planning proposals for possible housing development of land off Bungay Road, Bixley, Norfolk. Although the initial intention was to excavate 18 trenches, it was only possible to open 17 due to the location of buried services. The siting of the trenches was informed by the identification of crop marks showing on aerial photographs taken in 1946, and by interpretations of the results of a geophysical survey carried out in 2011. Fourteen of the trenches were thus positioned over linear features and other areas of potential archaeological interest, whilst the remaining trenches were located to explore areas apparently devoid of archaeological features. Eleven trenches contained archaeological evidence, ten of which correlated directly to archaeological interpretations of the geophysical survey. One trench (Trench 2) contained a linear feature that had not been recognised previously. Many of the non-linear features excavated proved to be of natural origin. Only one feature, a ditch in Trench 12, provided dating evidence. The find of Roman-period pottery suggests the possibility of activity related to a Roman road that may have run across the prospective development site.
