Abstract:		 During September 2011 and February 2012 Archaeological Solutions (AS) carried out an archaeological evaluation (field survey) on land off Brandon Road and Watton Road, Swaffham, Norfolk (NGR TF 8238 0759). The evaluation was required by the local planning authority in advance of the submission/determination of a planning application for residential development on land off Brandon Road and Watton Road, Swaffham, (NGR TF 8238 0759) (Breckland District Council). The site comprises a c.19.6ha field on the edge of Swaffham. Finds of Roman and medieval date are known from the area. Surface finds from the vicinity have included Roman jewellery and Roman and medieval coins. Excavations in advance of development to the immediate south of the site revealed Roman enclosures/field boundary ditches, elements of which may continue into the proposed development site. Prehistoric features were also identified. The field walking recovered a total of 58 flakes (551g) of struck flint and 38 fragments (837g) of burnt flint (Struck Flint Report below). The struck flint appears to range from later Mesolithic to Bronze Age in date, but is dominated by scrapers, piercers and debitage whose technology suggests an earlier Neolithic origin. The struck flint was present across the site with possible clusters in the centre of the site (Grid Squares 37 and 47) and north west corner (Grid Squares 17 and 18). A single body sherd (11g) of Roman pottery was found, and three medieval sherds. The sherds may be the result of manuring though two medieval were contained in the same grid square (No.25). A silver coin, a half groat, likely dates from 1582-1600.
