Abstract:		 Allen Archaeology Limited was commissioned by D R Builders to undertake an archaeological evaluation by trial trenching on land of Heath Road, Hockering, Norfolk, as a condition of planning consent for a residential development. The site lies in an area of some archaeological potential, with quantities of finds of mixed dates, ranging from prehistoric to post-medieval having been found by metal detecting in the wider area. Medieval activity is represented by a moated enclosure to the north and a possible deer park to the northeast. · The fieldwork was undertaken over a period of three days from the 11th to the 13th December 2017. Five trenches were excavated, each measuring 30m long by 1.8m wide. · The trenching revealed archaeological activity in four of the five trenches, with only Trench 3 being sterile. Trenches 1 and 2, in the north of the site, contained a number of pits and ditches, some of which were undated, and some producing small groups of medieval pottery, hinting at domestic activity in the vicinity. A large linear ditch, orientated northeast to southwest, was identified in Trenches 4 and 5, and contained medieval to post-medieval finds. The feature may correspond to a large, curving boundary ditch seen on LiDAR data extending to the north and south of the site.
