Full Description
November 2002 - January 2003. Geophysical, metal detecting and fieldwalking survey. Bacton to King's Lynn Pipeline plot 249.
Multiple parallel linear anomalies were detected and probably indicate the remains of ridge and furrow ploughing. Discrete linear features were likely to indicate former field boundaries. Finds recovered included two flint scrapers, four flint flakes, two fragments of ceramic building material, one burnt stone and a shell.
