Full Description
November 2002 - January 2003. Geophysical, metal detecting and fieldwalking survey. Bacton to King's Lynn Transco pipeline. Plot number 54.
A small scatter of ten burnt flints was found by fieldwalking survey, concentrated over a small area, and it is possible that the flints represent a relatively intact burnt flint mound. The field reconnaissance survey noted the remains of a north to south linear bank and ditch or holloway. The findings could be associated a Roman urn (NHER 6812) found previously. A flint flake, medieval and post medieval pottery and building material, and post medieval metal objects were also found.
