Abstract:		 Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by CgMs Consulting to undertake a second phase of archaeological evaluation on a derelict site at Oak Street, Fakenham, Norfolk (centred on NGR TF 91740 29740) in June 2003, prior to redevelopment. The Site lies on the north-west edge of the historic core of the town, and an earlier evaluation (in 2002) by Hertfordshire Archaeological Trust (HAT) had indicated the presence of medieval levelling / reclamation deposits in the lower, western part of the Site. Pollen analysis tentatively concluded that the upper part of the underlying peat sequence should be dated to the later prehistoric (Iron Age) to Saxon periods. This evaluation, however, failed to confirm the presence of a moated residence, referred to as a rectory, which mid-17th century map evidence indicates lay within the Site. Further evidence for the former presence of this moated enclosure comes from a large, lozenge-shaped pond which remained extant until around 1939 and probably reflected the late survival of the western arm of the moat.
