Full Description
April 1997. Excavations and Watching Brief.
Observation of water pipe line, including excavation (crosses sites NHER 29428, 1961, 1958 and 25576).
In North Creake two 10th- or 11th-century crop processing kilns were found, in association with iron metallurgical debris and possible structural beam slots. Also found was a marl pit of medieval date and the remains of a post medieval farm building.
In South Creake a well-constructed building platform was discovered. Although undated it may be medieval.
See published article (S1) for further details. The results of this work are also summarised in (S2). See also report on an (unsuccessful) archaeomagnetic study of a kiln structure (S3).
The associated archive has been deposited with the Norwich Castle Museum (NWHCM : 2013.311).
