March - August 2003. Bacton to King's Lynn Pipeline. Site 8 (plot 217).
Excavation in the south-eastern area of this site revealed a small truncated pit containing six pieces of an Early Neolithic plain bowl in flint and sand tempered farbic. Two pits containing small quantities of Early Iron Age pottery also made with flint-tempered fabric were recorded and the abraded nature of the pottery could suggest that these were redeposited (. A ditch of possible medieval/post-medieval date was also recorded at the western end of this plot. The date of this ditch is based on its aligment, which is at right angles to field boundaries depicted on historic maps.
At the time of writing, the struck flint assemblage has only been assessed as part of the overall grouping of Site 8, which consists of this area, NHER 37827, and NHER 37828.
