Abstract:		 The site lies near known heritage assets, most notably the former Bishop's Palace, a medieval moated site immediately to the northwest. The Bishop's Palace site is the location of the mid 19th century Gaywood Hall, within the gardens of which the site lies. A trenching strategy was agreed with Norfolk Historic Environment Service comprising five 30m long evaluation trenches. This phase of the fieldwork comprised the excavation of two of the trenches, as the remainder of the site was still occupied by glasshouses and polytunnels. The evaluation recorded evidence of datable activity associated with the kitchen garden of the mid 19th century Gaywood Hall, in the form of paths with beds between, presumably for vegetables. Additionally, an undated ditch was recorded, which is likely to represent a post medieval field boundary, along with a large, silted feature which was interpreted as a possible natural pond, although its extent meant that full investigation was not possible. Overall, the site was found to have a low archaeological potential, although the possibility remains that the large feature may represent part of a medieval moat suspected of crossing the site
