Abstract:		 Monitoring of groundworks under archaeological Supervision and Control was undertaken during construction of six new dwellings on land to the rear of 47-49 Bridge Street, Downham Market, Norfolk. The project was commissioned by BD Upton Builders Ltd. in response to a condition of planning permission granted by Kings Lynn and West Norfolk Council requiring a programme of archaeological works. The Norfolk County Council Historic Environment Service advised the local authority that the work was required due to the archaeologically sensitive location of the site within the historic core of the Downham Market. The town is listed in the Domesday survey of 1086 and the Norfolk County Council Historic Environment Record contains records of finds in the vicinity of the site ranging in date from the prehistoric through to the post medieval period. During the investigation an up to 0.8m deep mixture of topsoil and modern rubble was recorded over the western and northern parts of the site, suggesting extensive recent disturbance and deposition in those areas. Only in an area at the eastern edge of the of the site was a deeply buried subsoil layer recorded. The overlying mixed deposit is likely to derive from 19th century and later activity, including the construction and demolition of the building which stood on the site prior to the investigation.
