Abstract: report of a multi-period site ranging from the later Mesolithic (discoveries from which are described in Oxbow Monograph 102/Lithic Studies Soc Occ Pap 6, Stone Age archaeology, essays in honour of John Wymer, ed N Ashton, 1998) to the Early Saxon period. Romano-British features include at least three pottery kilns as well as pits and post-holes. `Wasters' of painted white wares were found in one kiln; these were dated to the late-third and early-fourth century AD, and were not previously known to have been made in Norfolk. Numerous Early Saxon features included a series of pits and a possible sunken-featured building. Remains of this date had not previously been found in the vicinity of the site. The presence of late Roman and Early Saxon material together in some features indicates a possible continuity of occupation
