Full Description
November 2002 - January 2003. Geophysical, metal detecting and fieldwalking survey. Bacton to King's Lynn pipeline plot 235.
Linear anomalies were recorded by the geophysical survey and probably represent former field boundaries. One of these field boundaries is shown on an aerial photograph taken in 1946. A flint scatter including eight scrapers, 11 flakes, one core and one struck piece in suggestive of a low density short term episode of local activity. In addition 18 fragments of ceramic building material possibly of Roman date, a sherd of late medieval pottery and a sherd of post-medieval bottle were recovered. The metal detecting survey located three metal objects including a post-medieval copper alloy coin.
