Abstract:		 NPS Archaeology carried out informative archaeological trial trenching in advance of proposed residential development at Land South of Meadowland Drive and Caraway Drive, Bradwell, Norfolk. Trial trenching comprised 18 trenches, each 30.00m x 1.80m, with some trenches targeting cropmarks recorded by the National Mapping Programme (NMP). Archaeological features were present in eleven of the eighteen trenches. A further five trenches contained only natural features, with two trenches devoid of features of any sort. The earliest archaeological features were a small number of shallow ditches, all sealed by subsoil. Heavily truncated, these may represent elements of an early field system, possibly a ditch running north to south through Trenches 1, 5 and 11 before turning east to cross Trenches 14 and 12. No dating evidence was recovered from these features, but as the subsoil is thought medieval in origin, these ditches may tentatively be suggested of Saxon date at the latest. A second group of ditches all cut subsoil. None appears to align with nearby later post-medieval and modern field boundaries, or are visible on the 1st Edition OS mapping; inferring a post-medieval date perhaps predating enclosure in the later 18th and early 19th century. The paucity of finds of any date from the site suggests that it was some distance from any settlement. One finding of the trial trenching was that variations in the underlying geology may have been mapped as cropmarks.
