Abstract:		 The results of archaeological monitoring of groundworks associated with the construction of a replacement house and detached double garage at the site of Hillcrest, Clippings Green, Mattishall. The site is positioned at a former common-edge location adjacent to Clippings Green. The excavation of the garage footprint revealed two ditches attributable to later post-medieval land divisions, one of which aligns with the former boundary of a garden or orchard depicted on early 20th century plans. A medieval boundary ditch was revealed in the south-east corner of the site which may be the original medieval boundary to the plots now defined by Greenacres and Hillcrest. This could suggest that this area was demarcated as a parcel of land from as early as the 13th century, most likely in association with the medieval moated site at Clippings Green Farm. The excavation of the footprint for the new house showed that, despite 19th century landscaping and the presence of a former cottage on the site, a large number of medieval pits were present below the modern topsoil. Twenty-three pits of varying shapes and sizes can be attributed to medieval clay extraction activity of a likely 13th century date, while a stone packed oval pit could be part of a former post-pit. The boundaries of two north to south plots measuring c. 6m in width can be loosely defined from the distribution of the pits. Finds collected from the topsoil include a Romano-British brick, several late post-medieval buttons and an 18th century crotal bell.
