Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation by trial trenching was conducted by NPS Archaeology for Banham Poultry Ltd, ahead of a planning application to develop new poultry facilities at Middle Farm, Wretham, Norfolk (TL 9138 8967). Fourteen evaluation trenches were excavated across the area of the proposed development, of which five trenches contained features tested by archaeological excavation. Trench 10 revealed two pits of probable prehistoric date. One pit contained a dark fill with burnt flint, the other pit a collection of worked flints including a horseshoe scraper. Both groups of finds are probably late prehistoric in date, with the worked flints most likely dating to the Late Neolithic-Early Bronze Age. Trench 9 revealed one small pit and a larger irregular pit containing reddened sand, thought likely to be archaeological in origin, but possibly geological. A further pit at the west end of the trench is likely to be a natural hollow, such as a tree-throw. Three trenches, Trench 1, Trench 8, and Trench 12, each recorded single features considered to be of natural origin.
