Abstract:		 The results of an evaluation by trial trench of land adjacent to Cecunda, New Road, Whissonsett. The plot (c. 1700 m2) is located in the very south-west corner of an agricultural field to the east of the main settlement, where surface finds of Saxon metal work (including brooches) have led to suggestions of an Early Saxon cemetery. Multi-period objects have been previously recovered in the area, including Mesolithic, Roman Saxon and Medieval finds. To the west of the site, closer to the medieval church, previous archaeological investigations confirmed the presence of a Middle to Late Saxon settlement, including human remains, indicative of a possible cemetery. Two shallow archaeological features of probable Late Saxon date were investigated below the subsoil, which have survived 19th to 20th century ploughing truncation. One took the form of a ditch or gully, while the other was part of a larger square or rectangular hollow with a fairly flat base and steep sides, tentatively suggested to be the rounded corner of a Sunken Feature Building. Noteworthy finds include Saxon to early medieval pottery two fragments of lava quern and part of a medieval lead cloth seal.
