Abstract:		 During September 2012 Archaeological Solutions (AS) carried out an archaeological evaluation (trial trenching) 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). A magnetometer survey (Strastascan 2011) identified a large enclosure (c.140m x 160m) in the eastern half of the site (immediately beyond the development area). A possible trackway was also identified. Similar enclosures identified in the region have been dated to the middle Bronze Age. Trial trenching along the eastern boundary of Field 1 (as titled in the geophysical survey report) aimed to demonstrate whether the archaeology in Field 2 extended westwards. The latter would seem not to be the case. Features were only present in Trench 1. Ditch F1010 and its re-cut, F1008, were post-medieval. Ditch F1004 was undated. It contained sparse struck flint. The silt-filled depression, F1006, is interpreted as a natural depression and sparse struck flint overlay the `feature'.
