September-November 2008. Trial Trenching.
Evaluation of site on proposed route of Sheringham Shoals Offshore Windfarm Grid Connection cable (Trenches 70-71).
The northernmost of the two trenches excavated at this location exposed a north-east to south-west aligned ditch. This feature corresponds with a former field boundary marked on 19th-century maps.
The only other feature identified as a pit of probable modern date that contained the remains of an adult sheep/goat. The fill of this pit was also found to contain several neonatal sheep/goat elements.
See reports (S1) and (S2) for further details. This work is also noted in (S3).
