Abstract:		 MOLA conducted an archaeological desk-based heritage assessment of land at Fakenham Road, Great Ryburgh, Norfolk. The earliest archaeological evidence found dates from the Mesolithic period. Neolithic flint tools have been found close to the west and north-west of the site. A possible Bronze Age ring ditch has been identified to the north-east and finds dating to the period have been discovered through metal detecting surveys. Iron Age remains including pits and pottery have been found within the area of proposed development through trial trenching. The site lies between two Roman settlements on the south-western banks of the River Wensum. One lies nearby to the north-west of the site and numerous finds including coins have been discovered during a fieldwalking survey. A further Roman settlement lies to the south-east where two enclosures, two kilns and two burials have recently been excavated. A middle Saxon cemetery, drainage ditches, an enclosure, land divisions and a substantial boundary ditch have also recently been discovered to the south-east of the site. Metal finds dating to the period have also been found to the north-west and to the east of the site during metal detecting surveys. The site lies beyond the historic core of Great Ryburgh. The medieval settlement developed around the junction of Fakenham Road and Bridge Road to the west of the River Wensum, flanked by the medieval moated manor of Ryburgh at the northern end and by St Andrew's Church to the south. Cartographic evidence suggests that the site lay to the rear of properties fronting Fakenham Road during the post-medieval period and had remained as undeveloped farmland.
