Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was conducted by NPS Archaeology on behalf of Permission Homes Ltd (Anglia Region) in June 2011 ahead of an application for planning permission to develop the site for residential purposes. A total of 86 trial trenches were excavated; eighteen of the trenches produced archaeological features and deposits- a range of discrete and linear feautures- however the vast majority of the features and deposits were undated due to the lack of artefacts and limited stratigraphic information. The site's location offered the oppurtunity to study landscape development of a former common with potential common-edge settlement on the boulder clay plateau (a broad upland spanning the north to south watershed in this area). Ten unstratified worked flints of Early Neolithic date were recovered. Although these flints came from an unstratified topsoil context they contribute to the understanding of the location and nature of prehistoric activity of the area surrounding Wymondham in South Norfolk. Three potential fire-pits were excavated; although the use or function of these pits remain unclear, important parrellels can be drawn from other excavated sites along the upper slopes of the Yare Valley. Although, the ditches examined were on the whole undated, similarities of ditch alignment can be drawn from an excavated site to the north of the site which may indicate a pre-medieval landscape. This evidence would also add to the understanding of the reorganisation of a post-Roman landscape into larger fields.
