Abstract:		 In response to an archaeological condition on the planning permission for a new dwelling on land adjacent to the Old Rectory, Station Road, Hillington, Norfolk, the Heritage Network was commissioned by the owners to undertake an archaeological evaluation of the site. Two trenches measuring c. 4 X 4m each were excavated. The natural lower greensand was encountered at a depth of 1.20 - 1.30m, suggesting that the plot had been built up. Despite the proximity of the site to known medieval and late Saxon archaeology, only two features were encountered in this evaluation: a faint hedge line running E-W across trench 1, and a shallow ditch running NW-SE across trench 2. Neither feature was dated. The stratigraphy in trench 2 demonstrated the presence of an underground spring or perched water table in the vicinity. Water rose up through the base of the ditch when it was excavated and there was a thin layer of grey sandy silt sealing the natural sand. This layer was not observed in trench one.
