Abstract:		 The results of an evaluation by trial trenching at No.18 Church Road, Blofield. The plot has been cleared of a former dwelling and a proposed planning application has been submitted for the construction of two semi-detached homes with a separate garage (Ref: 200140064). The overall plot size measures c.1460m2. Roman pottery has been found in the vicinity and the parish church, likely to represent a medieval settlement focus, lies a short distance to the west. Cropmarks within fields to the south-east may relate to Roman and medieval activity, while four ring ditches there overlooking the River Yare floodplain are thought to represent a Bronze Age cemetery. The evaluation encountered natural sand geology directly below a shallow garden soil. No subsoils were present, which suggests that the area has been scraped down and landscaped in modern times. Two modern sand extraction pits were revealed in the central area of the site along with the corner of a modern infilled septic tank pit. A single artefact of archaeological interest was encountered during the works in the form a handle fragment from a medieval jug of 13th to 14th century date. This was retrieved from the infill of one of the modern sand extraction pits and represents the only evidence for medieval activity at or near the site; which lies within close proximity to St Peter and St Andrews' Church where evidence for medieval settlement has been previously recorded.
