NHER 33594 (Find Spot record) - Possible prehistoric burnt mound and medieval/post-medieval 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

Fieldwalking in this area during 1998 noted a scatter of burnt flints at the western end of this field. These potentially represent prehistoric 'pot boilers' indicating the location of a burnt mound. Subsequent metal-detecting between 2016 and 2018 recovered a medieval lead spindle whorl and lead weight and a medieval/post-medieval copper alloy vessel fragment.
