May-November 2004. Norfolk Rapid Coastal Zone Archaeological Survey.
Inter-tidal survey (Environmental Zone 8), Context 1095:
Two sections of collapsed brick wall were found embedded in estuarine mud in the southwest part of the Burnham Overy Staithe harbour. They were probably part of a former harbour or revetment wall. A standing wall [Context 1098, NHER 41474] was directly to the south and showed signs of repair and could be where they came from.
