A programme of archaeological evaluation by trial trenching was carried out at 'Talbot Manor Gardens, Lynn Road, Norfolk' in 2016 as a planning condition associated with residential development of the site and to aid decisions regarding a programme of mitigatory work. Linear features and pits of Iron Age date were recorded that produced large quantities of pottery and animal bone including a worked piece of bone. The features and finds most probably represent activities associated with an Iron Age smallholding, quite rare in Norfolk, that probably included dairying and wool production. The highest density of finds was recorded in features in Trench 5 on the west side of the site and settlement evidence in the form of structural remains may exist close to this location. The excavation and recording of Iron Age remains is a high priority in local research aims and has the potential to advance the understanding of Iron Age activities in this part of Norfolk and may further the understanding of such activities at a regional and potentially national level. Evidence of modern greenhouses was recorded and an approximately east-to-west orientated culvert/drain crosses the site that has probably truncated archaeological remains to some degree. The main area of modern disturbance was recorded within the southern half of Trench 2.
