Abstract:		 In September 2011, Archaeological Solutions Ltd (AS) conducted an archaeological evaluation at Sidegate Road, Hopton-on-Sea, Norfolk (NGR: TG 5177 0170). The evaluation was conducted prior to, and in support of, a planning application for the proposed construction of a hospice. The evaluation revealed 93 archaeological features and 34 natural features. It confirmed the cropmark evidence regarding the location of a Bronze Age round barrow (although a less likely interpretation of this feature as an Iron Age round house is also considered), and three large ditches and banks. Other cropmarks indicating potential enclosures and field systems were not revealed however numerous other undated small ditches and gullies were present. The three large ditches were thought to be medieval or post-medieval in date, however the evaluation revealed them to be middle Bronze Age, substantially altering the understanding of the funerary landscape of the site and wider area. Two of the ditches apparently formed an ?avenue and the large ditch to the south-west contained the structured deposition of two copper alloy torcs, two quoit-headed pins and two copper alloy bracelets. Numerous other small ditches and pits were present, however the paucity of finds makes their dating uncertain. They likely relate to field systems dating from the late prehistoric period onwards.
