June 2004. Visit.
Findspot is heap of soil dug out when widening drive soon after house constructed in 1979, not moved until now. Heap contained builders refuse (masses of cement, flower pots, plastic pipes, etc.) and no traces of any other bones or pre 20th century material.
Member of the public [1] stated that they found some other bones some years ago which they took to be animal and threw away. They also found a 'gold coin with a nick out of one side' which they sold to a jeweller in Yarmouth without it being identified.
Presumably these finds were scraped up from surface of field when houses constructed and mixed with redeposited material. See NHER 15511 for finds from field.
