Abstract:		 NPS Archaeology carried out an archaeological evaluation by trial trenching at Heacham Manor Golf Course, Hunstanton, in north Norfolk. The evaluation was conducted for Hopkins Homes Ltd ahead of proposed development of land for housing. Fifty evaluation trenches were excavated or partly excavated, revealing a total of 24 archaeological features in 14 of the trenches. Archaeological features chiefly comprised field ditches and pits, the majority of which were not datable. Based on Norfolk Historic Environment Records, the types of features recorded by the evaluation are in-keeping with what is understood of archaeological remains in the vicinity of the site. Only a small quantity of datable cultural material was recovered from excavated features, and a metal-detecting survey of the development site proved entirely unproductive. However, the type of material recovered was comparable with other archaeological finds from the area, and provided evidence for intensive late prehistoric activity at the development site, particularly on its east and south edges. Evidence was also recorded of possible later field systems, these potentially dating to the Middle Iron Age and Roman periods. Surveys of cropmarks on aerial photographs indicate agricultural land use throughout the medieval and post-medieval periods. This is supported by the identification of a number of field ditches on varying alignments in the trial trenches.
