Full Description
April 2002. Excavation.
Excavation of site on course of Anglian Water North Pickenham to West Bradenham Supply Main pipeline. This site was selected for excavation due to the Roman and medieval finds that had previously been recovered in the vicinity.
Passes through NHER 31347. From Context 1.
The excavation identified pits, linear features and post holes. A number of re-cut ditches were interpreted as field boundaries and enclosures and groups of postholes as representing possible structures. Most of the features were dated to the medieval period by the pottery that they contained, although a few prehistoric and post medieval fragments were also recovered.
See assessment report (S1) for further details. The results of this work are also summarised in (S2). Final publication awaited.
The associated archive has been deposited with the Norwich Castle Museum (NWHCM : 2017.435).
