Summary

Fieldwalking here in 1998 recovered a number of prehistoric flint implements. Between 2002 and 2003 a geophysical survey recorded pit-like anomalies that may be natural features. Fieldwalking recovered a flint scatter including seven scrapers, one blade and 12 flakes suggesting a low density short term episode of local late prehistoric activity. Two medieval and 16 post-medieval fragments of building material and one fragment of post-medieval bottle glass.

November 2002 - January 2003. Geophysical and fieldwalking survey. Bacton to King's Lynn pipeline plot 239.
Pit-like anomalies were recorded by the geophysical survey but it is possible that these are natural features. A flint scatter containing seven scrapers, one blade and 12 flakes suggestive of a low density, short term episode of local late prehistoric activity rather than settlement. Other finds included two medieval and 16 post-medieval fragments of ceramic building material and a post-medieval glass bottle fragment.
