Abstract:		 An archaeological trial trench evaluation was conducted for Norfolk Homes Limited and South Norfolk Council ahead of the redevelopment for housing of two fields on the south-western edge of Poringland. Across the two fields ninety-four trenches were excavated, with archaeological remains identified in fifty-two of the trenches. The two fields exhibited quite different geology and possible former land uses. The northern field drained poorly and had no subsoil; historic mapping suggests that this field formed part of Poringland Heath in the post-medieval period. In comparison the southern field was relatively well-drained and had a layer of subsoil present, often associated with intensive arable agriculture. There were two main areas of interest - a spread of prehistoric pot-boiler material with associated features and a possible Roman farmstead consisting of a corn-dryer, ditches and a pit. The pot-boiler spread was located in the poor-draining northern field, while the putative farmstead was located within a patch of well-draining land on a slight rise on the edge of the northern and southern fields. Other features present were ditches of possible prehistoric date, putative structural remains in the area of the Roman farmstead, medieval enclosures (perhaps representing intakes into the common land of the heath) and post-medieval enclosures dating to the enclosure of the heath in the early 19th century. A pond was also identified.
