Abstract:		 Mechanical excavation was carried out with a JCB. All mechanical excavation was carried out in such a manner so as to avoid or minimise damage to the archaeological remains. All undifferentiated topsoil or overburden of recent origin was removed down to the first significant archaeological horizon. Spoil was scanned for artefacts, which were recorded and retained. A metal detector was also used for this purpose. Excavations below 1.2 m were only accessed once shoring had been installed. The depth and complexity of the deposits across the site was characterised. Records were made of all deposits and structures. Full written and drawn records of all excavated contexts were made in accordance with best archaeological practice. Archaeological deposits, which were not excavated, were recorded to the maximum extent possible in-situ. Records include overall trench and site plans. A single context planning methodology was used as appropriate. All excavation and recording was in accordance with the IFA Standard and Guidance for Field Evaluations (IFA 2001). Fieldwork procedures unless stated otherwise above were as set out in Appendix 2 and 3 of the OA Field Manual (Wilkinson, D 1992). The evaluation revealed a dense sequence of occupation spanning the early/middle Saxon period to the medieval period. The early medieval period exhibits particularly intense activity with evidence of metal working as well as environmental indicators and fishing industry by-products. The site was formally developed by the 13th-14th century (evidenced by a sequence of stone/flint built structures). Truncation of the stratigraphic sequence occurs in the 16-17th century and again in the late 18th-19th century. The results of the evaluation are probably to be expected, given the sites location on the north bank of the River Wensum and the riverside activities that this would imply.
