Abstract:		 This report describes the results of archaeological excavation carried out by Pre-Construct Archaeology on land at Chalk Lane, Narborough, Norfolk (centred on NGR TF 7487 1225) between the 5th January and the 24th February 2015. The archaeological work was commissioned by Persimmon Homes, in response to a planning condition attached to the redevelopment of the site. The aim of the work was to preserve by record any archaeological remains which would be damaged or destroyed by the new development. Based on the evidence uncovered during the archaeological trial trench evaluation and magnetometer survey, three areas were designated for open area excavation. A large natural hollow was uncovered within Area 1, occupying most of the excavation area. Area 1 was situated close to a former marsh known as Butlers Carr and consequently the hollow would have been seasonally inundated. The base of the hollow undulated considerably, and within the lower depressions, a series of buried soil deposits were recorded. The earliest stratigraphic deposit was associated with two caches of Earlier Neolithic flint tools. This layer was overlain by an Early Bronze Age burnt stone mound, with associated features cutting through the lower soil horizon. The mound and cut features were sealed by a buried soil deposit of presumed later Bronze Age-Iron Age date. To the north of this, a deposit containing Iron Age pottery was recorded, representing periodic waste disposal at the edge of the hollow. These deposits were sealed by a series of medieval ploughsoils.
