Abstract:		 Between October and November 2014, Archaeological Solutions Ltd (AS) undertook and archaeological excavation on land to the west of Mill House, The Street, Darsham. The excavation was carried out in compliance with a planning condition attached to planning approval for the construction of 15 new dwellings and was preceded by an archaeological trial trench evaluation, also conducted by AS (dated 19/03/2014 to 26/03/2014). In the event, the project encountered an enclosed medieval (12th to 14th century) landscape including at least one enclosure and possible field boundaries. The medieval enclosure may have formed part of a toft and croft-type peasant holding including 'backyard' activity, chiefly confined to the north-eastern part of the site. The latter included refuse pits, a ?well and possible quarry features. A possible pond was also present and may have served as a domestic and/ or agricultural water source. The finds evidence hints at the presence of a medieval building in the near vicinity, while the economy was dominated by wheat-based agriculture. The medieval site declined at some point during the 14th century and was superseded, indirectly, by limited evidence of post-medieval/ early modern activity, including possible structural remains. The only earlier evidence from the site comprises two Romano-British cremation deposits, one of which was radiocarbon dated and produced a calibrated date range of 20-175 cal AD (93.4%) and 190-210 cal AD (2.0%) at 95.4% confidence.
