Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was conducted for Oak Grove Renewables ahead of proposed development of land at Scottow Road, Coltishall, Norfolk. A total of ten evaluation trenches, each measuring 30m by 1.80m in plan were located within the footprint of the proposed bioenergy plant to examine potential archaeological features identified during a previous geophysical survey. Archaeological features were recorded in eight of the trenches, with a possible feature in another of the trenches; only one trench was apparently devoid of archaeological remains. The features were mainly ditches and apart from these, the only other features recorded at the site were possible quarry pits or natural features. Few artefacts were recovered from the site with no indication that organic remains might survive in good condition. In many places the ploughsoil was relatively deep, with the earliest features appearing to be somewhat truncated. The earliest human activity identified at the site might date to the prehistoric period, represented by a small quantity of worked flint of possible Neolithic or Bronze Age date recovered during the evaluation. The earliest features at the site are considered to be of a possible enclosure or rectilinear arrangement of ditches. An Iron Age or Roman date is suggested for this putative enclosure. A series of broadly north-south and east-west aligned medieval or post-medieval ditches, probably serving as field boundaries, were also present on the site, and at least one of these ditches can be identified on a later map of the area as a boundary for a plot containing a small number of buildings served by a track still existing today. Further reorganisation of the field boundaries identified by the geophysical survey and trial trenching seemed to have occurred with Parliamentary enclosure from perhaps the late 17th to early 19th century, resulting in the arrangement of fields and hedges apparent today.
