Abstract:		 In April 2010 Archaeological Solutions Ltd (AS) conducted an archaeological desk-based assessment for land at Greenways, Saham Road, Watton, Norfolk (NGR TF 9088 0097). The assessment was commissioned by Hopkins Homes Ltd. The site is proposed for residential development, and an archaeological desk-based assessment is required by the local planning authority prior to the submission/determination of a planning application for the proposed development. Two Neolithic axe heads have been found, c.150 and c.250m respectively, south of the assessment site (NHER 8771 and 8776). Watton is thought to be situated on a Roman road following the same line as the B1108 (NHER 8786), and is c.1.75km east of an inferred major crossroads with Peddars Way and the Late Iron Age and Roman settlement at Woodcock Hall (NHER 4697). Substantial evidence for Roman settlement has also been identified around Saham Toney to the north, most notably four buildings situated c.800m from the assessment site (NHER 31226). A moated site of possible medieval origin is shown on early Ordnance Survey maps (Fig 6) located c.80m east of the site (NHER 13290). The map regression indicates little change to the site between the mid 19th and mid 20th centuries. The names Barn Close and Backyard Close recorded on the tithe award for fields within the assessment site, and the close proximity of houses to the south and west, suggests the possiblity for post-medieval remains.
