Abstract:		 An evaluation advance of the construction of a new office block with revised car parking and a sheltered bike store. All archaeological work was carried out in accordance with a Brief for an Archaeological Evaluation, detailing the required archaeological work, written by Dr Simon Wood (CBCAA 2022), and a Written Scheme of Investigation (WSI) prepared by CAT in response to the Brief and agreed with the CBCAA (CAT 2022). One trial-trench was machine-excavated under the supervision of a CAT archaeologist. As per the Brief and WSI, trench T1 was 8m long by 1.8m wide. Due to site constraints which included the existing building, a new boundary fence and a timber smoking shelter, it was only possible to locate approximately two-thirds of the evaluation trench through the footprint of the proposed building. In addition to the Brief and WSI, all fieldwork and reporting was done in accordance with Historic England’s Management of Research Projects in the Historic Environment (MoRPHE) (Historic England 2016), and with Standards for field archaeology in the East of England (EAA 14 and 24). This report mirrors standards and practices contained in the Institute for Archaeologists’ Standard and guidance for archaeological evaluation (CIfA 2014a) and Standard and guidance for the collection, documentation, conservation and research of archaeological materials (CIfA 2014b). Archaeological evaluation on land at the rear of the former Norfolk Public House, North Station Road identified only modern archaeological contexts. The trench was cut through modern turf and topsoil (L1, 0.15m thick) overlying subsoil (L2, 0.3m thick) which sealed a layer of disturbed natural (L3 c 0.35m thick) which in turn sealed natural (L4, encountered at a depth of c 0.8m below current ground level, c 12.64m AOD). Modern pitting with inclusions of frogged brick, slate, pottery (predominantly flowerpot), wood and black plastic sacks cut each of these layers but no significant archaeological features were identified None of the evidence recovered from the evaluation indicates any association with the sites recorded on the HER. Although truncation caused by the modern contexts may have destroyed earlier, more significant archaeological contexts there is no obvious evidence to indicate the presence of such contexts in the immediate area of the evaluation trench.
