Full Description
May-November 2004. Norfolk Rapid Coastal Zone Archaeological Survey.
Inter-tidal survey (Environmental Zone 8), Context 1082:
Over twenty five timber posts/planks and a chalk surface were found within a saltmarsh channel to the east of the modern sea bank. The chalk surface may have been an eroded causeway crossing the channel and the timbers were probably part of the internal structure of an earlier bank. A bank (NHER 26770) is shown crossing the site on maps from 1822 and 1825 (S1); the timbers could be part of this bank.
See assessment report (S2) for further details.
The associated archive has been deposited with the Norwich Castle Museum (NWHCM : 2017.421).
