Abstract:		 Allen Archaeology Limited was commissioned by Allen Archaeology Ltd (AAL) were commissioned by Dove Jeffery Homes Ltd to undertake a programme of archaeological mitigation during the groundworks for remedial work and subsequent residential development on Bury Road, Thetford in Norfolk, in order to comply with a planning condition recommended by Norfolk Historic Environment Service (NHES) and imposed by Breckland Council. The excavation confirmed a strong presence of Saxon activity on site with pitting activities carried out in the 10th-11th century, contemporary with the expansion of Thetford town. The pits displayed backfilled material from nearby industries suggestive of butchery, fleece production, textile preparation, metal working and craft industry. The excavated site highlights the back corners of an active industrial area. The later phase on site represented by service trenches and associated with the former gasworks, did not seem to have had a great impact upon the earlier archaeology.
