Map

January-April 1997. Systematic Fieldwalking and Metal-detecting Survey.
Field survey on proposed route of Bacton to Great Yarmouth pipeline (Field/location RDX 23.3 (incorrectly marked as RDX 23.2 on plan)).
Prehistoric flints including flakes, retouched flakes and a borer were recovered. A concentration of post medieval pottery and ceramic building material was also recorded along with a Rose farthing token, a 17th to 18th century farthing and a jetton. This concentration was located on the northern side of an east-west road, and tile was so dense that only approximately one in three sherds were retained.
