Full Description
January-April 1997. Systematic Fieldwalking and Metal-detecting Survey.
Field survey on proposed route of Bacton to Great Yarmouth pipeline (Field/location RDX 21.1).
Prehistoric, medieval and post medieval finds were observed. Five sherds of late prehistoric pottery were recovered along with a pot boiler and a retouched flake. 11 sherds of medieval pottery and one brick fragment were identified. A small concentration of unglazed medieval pottery recorded at the southeast end of the adjacent field (RDX 21.1/NHER 34000) may be a continuation of this scatter. Six sherds of post medieval pottery were found along with a copper alloy harness mount and a furniture knob or finial. Large quantities of tile were present, but only 11 fragments of ceramic building material were recovered and these all dated to the post medieval period.
