Abstract:		 In May 2011 Archaeological Solutions Ltd (AS) carried out an archaeological evaluation at Beacon Park, Gorleston, Norfolk. The evaluation was conducted in compliance with a planning condition attached to planning approval for the construction of an industrial unit (centred on TG 5151 0197; Great Yarmouth Borough Council Planning Ref. 06/10/0342/F), and a pre-application stage to build an industrial estate (centred on TG 5155 0188). In Plot 11 the majority of features are undated. Based on their form and content Ditches F1041 and F1043 date from the prehistoric period. Pit F1049 (Trench 1) contained Early Bronze Age pottery, struck flint including four scrapers and burnt flint. Sparse struck flint, including a thumbnail scraper, was recovered from two features (Ditch F1004 (Tr.6) and Ditch F1041 (Tr.3). The prehistoric features occurred within the western half of the site. Within Plots 8 and 10 features were mostly linears. Pits were also recorded (Plot 8 Trenches 7A, and 8 - 10; Plot 10 Trenches 14 - 15 and 17-18). The only post holes (Tr. 16 F3016 and ?F3018) were likely modern. The archaeology recorded in Plots 8 and 10 is comparable to that recorded in Plot 11, which is adjacent. More so than Plot 8, the features recorded in Plots 1 and 10 though numerous were largely undated. Only two features (Trench 7A Pit F2005 and Ditch F2007) contained burnt flint (4-72g) and were possibly prehistoric. A large thumbnail scraper, characteristic of early Bronze Age technology, was recovered from the topsoil. Pit F3018 (Tr.10) was modern.
