2014. Test Pit.
A 1m by 1m test pit was excavated by young visitors to Gressenhall Farm and Workhouse museum as part of the Festival of Archaeology 2014 and under the supervision of a member of the Historic Environment Service. Only the topsoil was excavated and not archaeologically significant deposits were encountered. Finds recovered included a sherd of post-medieval white-ware pottery, fragments of post-medieval ceramic building material, burnt flint, clinker and a sherd of post-medieval/modern glass.
