Abstract:		 An archaeological evaluation was conducted by NPS Archaeology for David Payne ahead of the proposed residential development of land off Trunch Road, Mundesley, Norfolk. The evaluation consisted of six trenches each measuring 30m by 1.80m that examined 5% of the proposed development area. Of the six evaluation trenches only one was devoid of archaeological features. The most significant archaeological findings of the evaluation were artefacts from what are thought to be geological features located in broadly the centre of the site. The smaller of these is described as a hollow which contained a small quantity of Iron Age pottery with some worked and burnt flint. A possible palaeochannel that lay close to this feature also contained sparse cultural material. Whether both hollow and palaeochannel had been open contemporaneously could not be demonstrated. Environmental samples from deposits in these features provided little indication of human activity at the site. The hollow appeared to have been truncated by agricultural activity, while in the palaeochannel the earliest deposits survived below a sequence of natural infilling events. The small number of other archaeological features present at the site the comprised mostly ditches, these thought to identify the boundaries of pre-enclosure field arrangements and thus dating to perhaps the early 19th century or earlier.
