Abstract:		 Northamptonshire Archaeology carried out an archaeological trial trench evaluation on land north of Thetford, Norfolk in September 2010, following on from previous fieldwalking, metal-detecting and geophysical surveys. Two separate areas were evaluated at the west and east of the area respectively. The western area comprised twenty-six trenches excavated around the Iron Age and Roman site at Fison's Way (Scheduled Monument NMN 35550). These trenches contained ditches, pits and gullies considered to be contemporary with the monument as well as later post-medieval quarry pits. The eastern area comprised twenty-three trenches which sampled two known ring ditches and fieldwalking scatters of worked flint and prehistoric, Romano-British and medieval pottery. These trenches confirmed the ring ditches as barrows of probable Bronze Age date although no contemporary burials or cremations were recovered. A number of pits dated to the early Bronze Age by their pottery assemblages were identified in the vicinity of the barrow and some of the flint assemblage suggests the presence of earlier activity in these areas. Four early/middle Anglo-Saxon inhumations accompanied by grave goods dating to the late 5th - 6th century had been placed within the southernmost barrow. A cremation burial and a ditch terminal, both also of possible Anglo-Saxon date were identified
