What evidence might suggest the data is approximately normally distributed or not?

If the pearson's skew is between 0.0 and 0.49, then it is a normal or non-problematic distribution. If it is above .50, then it is not a normal distribution.

In appearance:

The data should be symmtrical; the mode and median should be very close to the mean; around 65 % of the observations should be withing one standard deviation (SD) of the mean; 95% of observations with 2 SD of the mean and almost all within 3 sd.

Better evidence can be provided by the chi-square or Kolmogorov-Smirnoff goodness-of-fir tests.

There may also be evidence from the nature of the data. For example, the means of samples will be closer to being normally distributed (Central Limit Theorem) than the individual observations.
