Full Description
May-November 2004. Norfolk Rapid Coastal Zone Archaeological Survey.
Inter-tidal survey (Environmental Zone 12), Context 106:
Within the modern shingle bank was a layer of clayey silt. It contained concrete fragments, metal stakes, metal fittings and wire. A World War Two scaffold clip was retained. The deposit was probably debris from activities associated with World War Two coastal defence activity. It may have been in-situ or part of a dump of World War Two material used in the construction of the modern sea bank.
See assessment report (S1) for further details.
The associated archive has been deposited with the Norwich Castle Museum (NWHCM : 2017.421).
