NHER 29931 (Find Spot record) - Medieval settlement and multi-period finds

The Norfolk Heritage Explorer is a filtered version of the Norfolk HER intended for casual research. Please contact us to consult the full record.

Summary

Prehistoric flints, pieces of medieval lava quern and fragments of medieval and post-medieval pottery found during fieldwalking in 1993. Metal-detecting between 2011 and 2016 recovered medieval pottery; a medieval coin and medieval to post-medieval metal objects. The metal finds include a medieval strap-end or buckle plate, buckle and pot mend; a medieval/post-medieval vessel leg fragment and chape and a post-medieval crotal bell. A concentration of medieval pottery was recorded in the south of the field, suggesting that this was the site of a small medieval settlement on the edge of a small green shown on an estate map of 1629.
