Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was conducted for Savills, acting on behalf of Greater Norwich Cemetery Ltd. (formerly Canhams Hill Cemetery (Norwich) Ltd), ahead of a planning application for the creation of a large new cemetery at Drayton for the city of Norwich. The trial trenching covered 34.5ha and revealed a sparse collection of archaeological features. Of the 95 trenches excavated only ten contained archaeological remains and those of most interest were located on the western side of the site. Trenches 84, 85 and 86 contained three undated but possible prehistoric ditches (observed beneath subsoil) and a natural hollow containing a large amount of struck flint of Early Neolithic date. Trench 93 contained two ditches which also may be of prehistoric date. There were several probable post-medieval field boundaries uncovered in trenches on the western side of the site. Trench 41, on the eastern side of the site, contained two undated features and a pit of 20th-century date containing modern food waste and rubbish. The results from trial trench evaluation confirm the results obtained from the geophysical survey which is that archaeological remains at the site are sparse and limited.
