NHER 40205 (Negative evidence record) - Site where geophysical survey identified no evidence for archaeologically-significant remains

This site records a multi-phased programme of archaeological investigation undertaken prior to the construction of a new link road between the A11 Cringleford bypass and Colney Lane. For other sites related to this work, see NHER 40130 –40137.
See NHER 35178 for other metal-detecting finds from this field.

The results of a systematic fieldwalking and metal-detecting survey undertaken in 2004 are now recorded under NHER 32333 (which also details other finds from this field).

February to April 2004. Geophysical Survey. Field 9, Area Q.
A magnetic susceptibility survey was carried out over the entire field and a gradiometer survey was undertaken within one small, discrete area.
Magnetic susceptibility readings were generally low and relatively stable across the field. One enhanced area was identified near the western boundary, indicating a possible spread of material in the topsoil. The gradiometer survey targeted this area, but did not identify any archaeological features. The only anomaly detected was attributed to modern cultivation.
See report (S1) for further details.
