Abstract:		 An archaeological watching brief was conducted for CWA Developments Ltd. during groundworks associated with the construction of a new technical block at the College of West Anglia, King's Lynn in Norfolk. Although this project only produced archaeological features of limited significance (a pit and a ditch) it may cast light upon the post-medieval landscape history of the area. A fine assemblage of 16th-18th century artefacts was collected including imported pottery and tobacco pipe remains. The earliest deposits encountered were Bronze Age Nordelph peats, followed by subsequent Terrington Beds, formed by marine inundations up to the late 18th century at least. This suggests that the development area had been salt marsh and rough grazing until the late 18th century. The pit and ditch appear to have fallen out of use in the late 18th century, and a soil rich in artefacts was deposited over the whole area. This may be due to a brief phase of arable agriculture, or simply the deposition of material in an effort to raise the land level. Historic mapping suggests that subsequent use of the site was as part of an orchard, until the construction of the present college buildings
