Abstract:		 An evaluation excavation aws carried out on the Iron Age hillfort at Bloodgate Hill by the Norfolk Archaeological Unit on behalf of the Norfolk Archaeological Trust. This work was undertaken in the autumn of 2003, in advance of the proposed public display of the monument. Prior to the excavation air photography and geophysical survey were employed. The air photographs indicated the presence of a large ring-ditch within the hillfort enclosure. While the geophysical survey revealed further details of the hillfort including its probable entrances, the ring-ditch (with possible entrance and internal features) and adjoining ditches. Excavation showed that the hillfort ditch had been recut some time after its initial construction. The bank (slighted in 1827) appeared to survive as a low bank of soil. The central ring-ditch was of a distinctive V-shape, c.3m deep, with evidence for an internal bank. Iron Age pottery through its fills suggested a date for construction, although its function remains unclear. A chalky spread behind the line of the former bank was also recorded (representing the slighting of the bank in 1827) which sealed earlier soils. A small pit beneath these soils produced Iron Age pottery and flints. Environmental evidence was slight but probably indicated an open environment locally. Optical Stimulated Luminescence (OSL) dating of samples from the site produced ambivalent results.
