May-November 2004. Norfolk Rapid Coastal Zone Archaeological Survey.
Inter-tidal survey (Environmental Zone 23), Context 118:
At the top of the cliff a brick wall, a spread of building material, and at least four V-shaped ditches were observed. Bricks collected at the base of the cliff [context 52, NHER 41609] may have come from either the wall or the spread of building material and may provide a date. If so the wall - probably a garden wall - would have been built between the 16th and 19th centuries. The ditches were possible field boundaries.
See assessment report (S1) for further details.
The associated archive has been deposited with the Norwich Castle Museum (NWHCM : 2017.421).
