Abstract:		 A Community Excavation was carried out on the Town Bank at Thetford (Schedulled Ancient Monument 331) to investigate its character and to recover material; both artefactual and environmental, to aid its dating (if possible). The excavation was one element of a community project that attracted over 200 participants. The Town Bank lies on the line of the known Late Saxon defences around the town on the south side of the river and was thought possibly to preserve part of its fabric and structure. Excavation revealed that the upstanding bank in the stretch within the school grounds (where it is at its highest) may be of much later date than supposed, with finds from the base of the bank being of post-medieval date. However, the finds from this work also included several sherds of Late Saxon Thetford ware and a single sherd of St Neots ware, testifying to Late Saxon activity nearby. No material was recovered for a meaningful scientific date.
