An archaeological evaluation was undertaken to define the level and intensity of potential archaeological remains associated with either the Roman town of Snettisham, Norfolk , or, more significantly, the nationally important Iron Age precious metal hoard deposits located in an adjacent field. The combination of geophysical survey, trench- and test station-based investigations enabled a thorough analysis of the field to be made but showed only low status archaeological features remaining in extremely plough-damaged terrain. No Iron Age or Romano-British occupation evidence was present whatsoever.
