Abstract:		 In July-August, Cotswold Archaeology carried out a programme of archaeological mitigation work during the installation of a new cable run for the proposed West Raynham Solar Park, Norfolk. The work comprised both a watching brief and a narrow strip, map and sample investigation along the line of the cable run. Several archaeological features were recorded, the majority of which were ditches. Features were generally shallow with single fills only. Dating evidence was scarce, but a small number of features were Late Bronze Age to Roman in date. A limited number of medieval furrows were also recorded, and there were several post-medieval features, some of which related to the 17th-century Raynham Park. The limited width of the stripped area meant that it was difficult to interpret the archaeological features and place them in their wider contexts. Features were generally scattered along the route, with few close relationships. It is concluded that the landscape in the area of the cable run was exploited in the Late Bronze Age and Early Iron Age, but this exploitation was not intensive. There was also residual lithic evidence for earlier activity spanning the Mesolithic to the Bronze Age. The cable run was tunnelled beneath a road preserving the line of a known Roman thoroughfare. No associated roadside ditches or structures were exposed. There was no evidence for a postulated second Roman road crossing the cable run, indicating either that this road does not exist, or it has been completely removed by later activity.
