Abstract:		 In March 2014, Archaeological Solutions Ltd (AS) carried out an additional phase of an ongoing archaeological evaluation at Beacon Park, Gorleston, Norfolk. The evaluation is being conducted in compliance with a condition attached to planning approval for the proposed construction of industrial units (Site 14 at NGR TG 5151 0197; Great Yarmouth Borough Council Planning Ref. 06/10/0342/F), and a pre-application stage to build an industrial estate (centred on TG 5155 0188). The industrial estate comprises several sites (numbered 1, 4, 8 - 10, 11a, 12a and 14). Site 11 had been previously evaluated. The evaluation had revealed a range of archaeological features present in each trench. The dated features were prehistoric and post-medieval, and the prehistoric features occurred within the western half of the site, immediately adjacent to Site 11a (Barlow and Thompson, 2011). Archaeological features, mostly undated, were found within the majority of trenches on Sites 8, 10 11a and 12a. The features were mostly linear (ditches and gullies, and their terminations). Pits were also recorded. Only two features were possibly prehistoric. A large thumbnail scraper, characteristic of early Bronze Age flint technology, was recovered from the topsoil during the evaluation. The archaeology recorded on Sites 8 and 10 was of a similar character to that recorded on Site 11, which is adjacent to both sites. The features present on Sites 11a and 12a were all undated except for one ditch (F1028) from which a post-medieval glass bottle fragment was recovered. The results of the evaluation of Site 14 were directly comparable to those recorded elsewhere. Linears and pits were recorded, sparse prehistoric finds were found, and the dated features were post-medieval or modern.
