Abstract:		 An archaeological watching brief was carried out on a plot of land adjacent to Long Acre, Church Lane, at Cley Next The Sea in Norfolk. A series of wall foundation trenches were excavated to the natural chalk bedrock, under constant attendance as stated in the brief. These trenches, of varying depth, revealed a relatively modern subsoil which contained, in places, layers or rafts of redeposited chalk. Underlying these was a layer of medieval silt, which contained a small quantity of bone, mollusc shells and burnt material, a small refuse pit containing fish bones, and some pottery fragments of Grimston-type ware. It is concluded that this area was close to the river tide-line during the medieval period. To the south of this site there is evidence of medieval and/or post medieval settlement with the presence of built remains recorded in 1961. The presence of re-deposited chalk platforms here in this plot suggests that this area too had been built on in the post medieval period. To the north the present building is pre-1800 and may be significantly earlier than that date. It seems that this part of the Cley consisted of a number of ''burgage'' plots by the post-medieval period, perhaps pre-dated by riverside activity.
