NHER 41619 (Monument record) - Earthwork bank and wooden posts

May-November 2004. Norfolk Rapid Coastal Zone Archaeological Survey.
Inter-tidal survey (Environmental Zone 26), Context 146:
Two rows of planked uprights were embedded within estuarine mud immediately south of the modern sea bank. They could have been a fish trap or a revetment.

November 2005. Norfolk NMP.
A low earthwork mound is present on the edge of Breydon Water on aerial photographs (S2) and (S3). This mound is located at TG 4967 0791 and corresponds to a structure recorded by the Norfolk Rapid Coastal Survey (S1). A low D shaped mound, measuring 22m by 9m is present on the edge of the estuary. The position of its landward side corresponds to a group of posts that were identified by the coastal survey as a possible revetment. It is likely that this revetment lay along the side of the mound. The function of the mound is uncertain, but it is possible that it relates to sea defences and is probably of post medieval to modern date.
