Abstract:		 This report presents the results of an archaeological evaluation, excavation and watching brief conducted at Priory Road, Great Cressingham, between October 2002 and September 2008. One large Roman boundary ditch and three small Roman pits, one containing a significant assemblage of late Roman pottery, were found, together with a large amount of Roman material residual in later features. Three small Saxo-Norman ditches and three small Saxo-Norman pits were found, together with an amount of Saxo-Norman material residual in later features. A number of probably 13th-century quarry pits were found in the south-western portion of the site. These were probably for the extraction of chalk used in the construction of the adjacent parish church. During the Roman period the site was probably adjacent to a farmstead within an enclosed field system, elements of which survive in the modern landscape. The farmstead was probably in the area of the parish church and was of high status with masonry walls, tiled roof and hypocaust. During the Saxo-Norman period this field system continued to be utilised, although again the excavated area appears to have been in a peripheral location. During the 13th century the site was quarried and the Roman field system was replaced by a new open field system, probably in order to support an expanding population.
