March-May 1999. Excavation.
Excavation on route of Bacton to Great Yarmouth pipeline (Site 9N).
In the northern area of the site a shallow ditch was recorded running across the northern part of the site and cutting a pit located in the corner with both features being of unknown date. A large natural feature probably of periglacial origin. A single sherd of grog-tempered pottery probably of Bronze Age date, three flint flakes and a scarper were recovered from various fills within the large natural feature.
In the southern area of the site excavated ditches were found to correspond with previously identified cropmarks and a number of natural features possibly tree throws were recorded along with a possible archaeological pit feature.
