Abstract:		 In February 2017 Archaeological Solutions Ltd (AS) carried out an archaeological desk-based assessment at land west of Brandon Road, Swaffham, Norfolk (NGR TF 8185 0727). The assessment was commissioned by the client to inform and support a planning application for development proposals. Evidence of prehistoric activity in the surrounding environment is represented by scattered Neolithic flint artefacts, as well as late Bronze Age/early Iron Age and early/middle Iron Age pits directly to the east at the previously excavated Swan's Nest site. A Romano-British settlement is located a short distance to the east with excavations directly to the east revealing a field/enclosure system, probably on the periphery of the settlement with evidence of agricultural processing. By the medieval period three manors were associated with Swaffham but the focus of settlement lay much further to the north. Fieldwalking on the site recorded a single medieval coin. Following the mass enclosure of land in the early 19th century the site formed agricultural land to the south of Swaffham. This has remained its main purpose up to the present day. There are no concrete proposals for the site as the development is still in its outline stages. However it can be surmised that any development would include groundworks which will have a high impact on archaeological remains, if present. Previous ground disturbance is limited to the agricultural use of the site since the mid-19th century, which may have resulted in the minor disturbance of any archaeological remains, if present.
