Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was conducted for NPS Property Consultants ahead of a proposal to develop the site of the former Highways Depot, Station Road, Hillington, Norfolk for residential purposes. Six trenches, each measuring 30m x 1.80m (324m²) were excavated to provide an approximate 5% evaluation of the development site (7,000m²). Each of the trenches contained archaeological remains - a total of fourteen ditches and gullies, seven pits, two ponds and a possible trackway/path were recorded. The ditches, gullies and trackway/path were undatable. Two of the pits were modern and the remainder were undated. One of the ponds produced finds of late 12th- to 14th-century date, the other produced finds of Mid/Late Saxon to 18th-/20th-century date. An undated chalk and flint built trackway/path may have traversed the site from north-east to south-west. The finds assemblage, much of which was unstratified, was concentrated in date between Mid-Late Saxon and the 14th century. This may at least provide a general guide to the dating of the pits that are not modern and the ditches and gullies at the site. The high level of the water table resulted in a damp if not marshy environment possibly stretching back to the Saxon period or possibly even earlier. The general paucity of datable finds recovered during the work suggests, perhaps unsurprisingly, an absence of occupation of any intensity at the site until the present day.
