Abstract:		 In December 2011 and January/February 2012, Archaeological Solutions (AS) undertook an archaeological trial trench evaluation at land south east of Scania Way, King's Lynn, Norfolk (NGR TF 6349 1857). The evaluation was carried out in compliance with a planning condition attached planning permission for a new Sainsbury's superstore with associated cold store and parking facilities (Planning Ref. 09/00216/OM). It is probable that Hardwick saw transitory prehistoric activity and possible Roman industrial activity in the vicinity of the site. There is a dearth of Anglo-Saxon remains but the medieval village of Hardwick is documented in the historical record from 1242 AD. The location of the deserted medieval village is unknown but cropmarks within and close to the site boundary indicate that medieval activity in relation to the village may lie close to the site. Early cartographic sources also indicate that the site may lie on the outskirts of a medieval green. The site was agricultural in character from the post-medieval period with the presence of Firs Farm on the site up until the early 20th century. Industrial development from the 1960's is likely to have truncated a large proportion of the site although isolated pockets of land in the centre of the site may lie undisturbed indicating a potential for producing well preserved remains in those areas. Nine trenches were excavated and significant archaeology was recorded in Trenches 3 and 4. A very large pit (F1041) in excess of 22m across contained numerous tips of large quantities of 13th/14th century tile wasters and layers of pure brown clay. This pit was probably the result of quarrying the clay used for the manufacture of roof tiles in the immediate vicinity.
