Abstract:		 NAU Archaeology conducted an archaeological evaluation in early November 2010 for NPS South-East Limited in Thetford, Norfolk ahead of the proposed development of the site for a bus interchange. The site lies in the core of the historic town to the north of the River Little Ouse between St Nicholas Street and Minstergate. The evaluation consisted of two trenches, each measuring 15m by 1.80m in plan and located within the proposed development footprint. The earliest evidence of human activity provided by this evaluation was residual finds of a worked flint and single sherd of Roman pottery. The earliest archaeological features recorded were medium- to large-sized pits of Late Saxon or early medieval date which were present in both evaluation trenches. Industrial activity associated with the Charles Burrell traction engine works was also identified in both evaluation trenches. These works occupied part of the redevelopment area from the early 19th century to the 1930s. Though the evaluated area lay close to the site of medieval church of St Nicholas, the proposed development appears to lie outside the burial grounds of this church as no human remains, graves or evidence of cemetery deposits were recovered during these works.
