Abstract:		 An archaeological strip, map and sample excavation was conducted for Persimmon Homes (Anglia Region) Ltd ahead of the construction of a new residential development on land north of Norwich Common, Wymondham, Norfolk. This work followed on from evaluation of the site utilising geophysical survey, fieldworking/metal detector survey and trial trenching techinques which had identified the presence of a cluster of four pits of Roman date close to the line of a Roman road which bounded the site. An area measuring 35m by 60m was machine-stripped to the surface of the natural geology aroound the features to determine and characterise the presence or absence of further features/deposites in the vicinity. Five 'new' pits of Roman date were identified and recorded during the evaluation gives a total of nine. Four of these features have been interpreted as waste disposal pits and five as small-scale extraction pits. Although no structures were identified on the site the pits would seem to indicate the presence of human habitation during the 1st to early 2nd centuries in the vicinity (possibly focussed on the road) and perhaps suggesting the presence of a small farmstead or similar.
