Abstract:		 Between October and December 2006, Archaeological Solutions Ltd (AS) undertook an excavation at Earsham Quarry, Pheasants' Walk, Earsham, Norfolk (NGR TM 315 891) prior to the proposed extension of the quarry site for the extraction of sand and gravel. Cropmark features had previously been noted within the site, including at least two probable Bronze Age barrows and part of a possible Roman field system (NHER 43608). Additional field boundaries dating to the medieval and post-medieval periods had also been identified (NHER 43609, 30622). Elsewhere in the parish there is evidence that Anglo-Saxon burials have been interred close to Bronze Age barrows. The excavation revealed four phases of activity. Phase 1 dated to the middle Bronze Age and comprised a small cremation cemetery, located within the area of one of the cropmark ring ditches. No physical trace of the enclosing ring ditch was found. At the north-west corner of the site, a ring ditch with several internal features was also dated to Phase 1. This corresponded with the second ring ditch identifed on the aerial photography of the site. Phase 2 comprised a cluster of Iron Age Pits. During Phase 3, nine inhumation burials were inserted into the earlier ring ditch in the north-west of the site, indicating Roman or Anglo-Saxon reuse of the barrow mound. Radiocarbon dating of the skeletons should clarify when this took place. Phase 4 comprised pits and field ditches, corresponding to boundaries shown on the 1816 Enclosure Map.
