Abstract:		 In January 2011, Archaeological Solutions Ltd (AS) carried out an archaeological evaluation at Beacon Park, Gorleston, Norfolk. The evaluation was conducted in compliance with a planning condition attached to planning approval for the construction of an industrial unit (centred on TG 5151 0197; Great Yarmouth Borough Council Planning Ref. 06/10/0342/F), and a preapplication stage to build an industrial estate (centred on TG 5155 0188). The site lies within an area of significant archaeological interest comprising extensive areas of intersecting multi-period, dated and undated cropmarks of enclosures, ring ditches, field systems and trackways. The cropmarks include a possible Bronze Age ring ditch within Sites 9/10 (NHER 43554), and another immediately north of the ambulance station (NHER 45054), a possible Iron Age square barrow within Site 13 (NHER 45051). Site 1 is also in the area of two more groups of late prehistoric and Roman field systems located east and predominantly south of Camelot Road (NHER 43494 and 43495). The majority of features revealed during the evaluation were ditches. Gullies and pits were also revealed. Each trench contained archaeological features. The majority of features are undated. Based on their form and content Ditches F1041 and F1043 date from the prehistoric period. Pit F1049 (Trench 1) contained 12 sherds of Early Bronze Age pottery, struck flint including four scrapers and burnt flint. Sparse struck flint was recovered from two features (Ditch F1004 (Tr.6) and Ditch F1041 (Tr.3). The struck flint from Ditch F1004 comprises a thumbnail scraper. Three post-medieval ditches were recorded. The evaluation revealed a range of archaeological features present in each trench. The dated features are prehistoric and post-medieval, and the prehistoric features occurred within the astern half of the site.
