Abstract:		 The results of an excavation of the footprint of a rear extension to the rear of Cintra House, 31 White Hart Street, Thetford. Cintra house is a Grade II Listed Building dated to 1821 by a stone plaque in the south return. The work entailed the removal of a single-story 19th century extension and the creation of a larger extension with a footprint of c. 47m2, along with external and internal alterations to the property. Most significantly the property is located within the medieval defences on the northern side of the river, opposite close to the site of St Andrew's Church which fell out of use and was demolished in 1546. Late Saxon and medieval pits and a medieval well have been uncovered previously in the immediate area through excavation to the rear of Ancient House Museum off White Hart Street and Saxon pits and medieval to post-medieval building remains were uncovered ahead of development on the other side of White Hart Street. Excavation of the new extension footprint encountered a dense area of pits, confirming occupation activity here from the Late Saxon period. Four main phases of activity were identified which begin with Late Saxon to Norman period features, followed by medieval, early post-medieval and concluded with features relating to the construction of the 19th century house. The Saxo-Norman features include an c. 2.2m deep shaft-like pit with a chalk block reinforced upper edge, thought to have served as a dry storage pit; a cess-pit which included dietary evidence of animal bone, marine shells and grape seed pips; and the corner of a 3.4m deep chalk extraction pit.
