Abstract:		 Norfolk Archaeological Unit undertook a programme of archaeological work at the Corner House, Staithe Street, Wells-Next-the-Sea. This work consisted of evaluation trenches and a small excavation. A total of twenty-four features were recorded. The most significant of these was an Iron Age pit that represents the first evidence of this period to be found in Wells. It produced a variety of artefacts including a semi-complete quern stone and briquetage associated with salt production. Two Roman field boundaries were also identified. These were also the first features of this period to be found in Wells, with a Roman presence previously evidenced only by chance finds. Even though the site lies in what would have been the centre of Wells from at least the late medieval period onwards, no traces of buildings were identified. The remainder of the features excavated were post-medieval in date and related to the site''s recent use as a garden. The first part of this report presents the results of the recent excavation. This is followed by an assessment of the potential of the stratigraphic and artefactual data from both phases of work (evaluation and excavation). The final part of this report presents an Updated Project Design. This summarises the further analysis and publication required to meet the work''s specific and general aims as stated in the original Project Design.
