Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation by NPS Archaeology at Norwich Road, Caister-on-Sea was conducted on behalf of Middleton and George Ltd in advance of proposed development. The site to be evaluated was located within an area thought to be part of the vicus or civilian settlement associated with a nearby Roman fort established in the early 3rd century. The evaluation consisted of six trenches each measuring approximately 1.8m by 30m in plan arrayed across the development area. Archaeological features were recorded in each of these trenches; with features being overlain by soil that varied in depth from c 0.50m to 1.20m. The quantity of cultural material recovered from the site suggests considerable activity during the Roman period, and the majority of archaeological remains at the site are considered to be of Roman date. Remains of this period comprised mostly ditches of broad north-south and east-west alignments as well as some pits that included a possible oven or similar type of feature containing burnt material. Features of possible prehistoric and post-Roman date were also tentatively identified on the site. Based on the date and nature of the archaeological evidence it seems likely that the side does indeed lie within the vicus associated with the fort. The intercutting of some ditches at the site suggests that the arrangement of plot boundaries was not static, with some potential for stratified remains to survive. The depths of soil present at the site appeared to have helped preserve these remains.
