Abstract:		 Thirty-two trenches were excavated over the former second and tenth fairways of the Royal Norwich Golf Club, immediately north-east of Drayton High Road in Hellesdon, Norwich, to evaluate the site's archaeological potential. ahead of proposed housing development. The evaluation was preceded by a desk-based assessment and historic building recording, a geophysical survey. Archaeological deposits or finds were recorded in sixteen of the trenches. The majority features were ditches and pits, most of which produced little by way of dating evidence, although some were thought to be later prehistoric from the worked flint. A single pit produced prehistoric flintwork and a sherd of Early to Middle Bronze Age pottery, whilst others contained lower levels of struck flint. An assemblage of later prehistoric flint was also recovered from the topsoil, subsoil and natural deposits, particularly in the eastern half of the site. The ditches appear to be part of one or two field systems, but produced little dating evidence. An exception to this was the WWII anti-tank ditch, already known to cross the site at its western end, which was excavated in full in one trench. This revealed a typical profile for such a feature and produced several blocks of reinforced concrete and barbed wire picket posts, amongst other items. Across all of the site were deposits interpreted as natural phenomena that rarely produced any evidence of anthropogenic influence and these are believed to generally be the result of tree root hollows and geological processes. The features were reasonably well preserved, although they often survived under varied depths of overburden, whilst some areas had been truncated by golf course landscaping and large quarry pits.
