Abstract:
This report describes the results of an eight-trench archaeological evaluation carried out by Pre-Construct Archaeology at Ellingham Green, Great Ellingham, Norfolk (NGR TM 01899741) on the 3rd to the 5th of November 2014. The archaeological work was commissioned by CgMS Consulting on behalf of Orbit Homes Ltd. in response to a planning condition attached to residential development. The aim of the work was to characterise the archaeological potential of the site. The evaluation identified a number of Roman pits and postholes suggestive of a phase of settlement located within the southern part of the site area, as well as further south and east, towards the previously excavated Roman cemetery. A number of ditches were also identified in the southern part of the site area, which may represent the beginning of settlement edge field systems and boundary marking. This activity was mainly focused on the southern part of the site, near to Attleborough Road, however towards the north a large east to west running ditch was uncovered, in a location correlating with previously identified cropmarks. This may represent the beginning of larger scale field system divisions further from the posited core of the Roman settlement. The results of the fieldwork enhance understanding of the Roman development of the Great Ellingham area and can be characterised as being of local significance.
