Abstract:		 An archaeological watching brief was conducted for Anglian Water Services Limited ahead of the construction of a haul road and temporary working area. It was intended that these works be monitored as the site lay within a rich archaeological landscape and the potential for remains to be present was high, However, the work took place without any monitoring and the haul road and working area were constructed by the time the archaeologists were notified of the start of the works. Therefore, a revised strategy of metal detecting and surface collection of artefacts from stockpiled topsoil and subsoil and monitoring of the removal of the hard-standing within the working area was carried out to try to recover as much information as possible. The later monitoring of the removal of the hard-standing from the temporary working area revealed no archaeological features or artefacts. Artefact collection from the removed topsoil and subsoil recovered a small collection of flint, pottery and metal objects of prehistoric, Roman medieval and post-medieval date. The nature of the assemblage was similar to many others recovered from the Postwick area. However, the fact that the finds were recovered from the topsoil and subsoil that had already been removed from the site and stockpiled meant that no locative information could be obtained which reduced the archaeological value to providing an addition to the large corpus of similiar material from the area around Postwick.
