Full Description
May-November 2004. Norfolk Rapid Coastal Zone Archaeological Survey.
Inter-tidal survey (Environmental Zone 8), Context 807:
A horizontally laid branch and one piece of wattle were found in association with a large mammal rib lying loose on the sand beach between Brancaster and Scolt Head Island. The two pieces of timber could have been part of a trackway leading from Brancaster Staithe to Scolt Head Island or part of a fish trap similar to those found previously at Holme next the Sea.
See assessment report (S1) for further details.
The associated archive has been deposited with the Norwich Castle Museum (NWHCM : 2017.421).
