Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was conducted by NPS Archaeology in September and October 2014 for NPS Property Consultants Ltd ahead of an application for planning permission for the development of an education establishment at Old Buckenham School, Norfolk. A geophysical (magnetometer) survey of the site was conducted in August 2014 and revealed evidence of linear features, possibly forming part of a double ditched enclosure or land divisions indicative of settlement activity. Based on the geophysical results; a total of eight trial trenches were excavated, all of which produced archaeological features and deposits. The presence archaeological features and deposits revealed that cultural activity was present throughout the site. The ditched enclosure boundaries are predominately dated to the medieval periods of the 11th-14th-centuries, however, the presence of Romano-British pottery confuses their interpretation as being of this date. The Romano-British pottery recovered is dated to the 1st century AD. The rectilinear form of the enclosures or land divisions are probably more indicative of prehistoric or Romano-British features, however the amount of known medieval activity in close proximity of the site may suggest a planned medieval landscape away from the historical core of Old Buckenham.
