Full Description

November 2002 - January 2003. Geophysical, metal detecting and fieldwalking survey. Bacton to King's Lynn Pipeline plot 231-233.
The geophysical survey recorded multiple parallel features, which are probably the remains of ridge and furrow ploughing. A linear anomaly is probably a former field boundary and this feature is possibly shown on a 1946 aerial photograph. Fieldwalking produced one burnt flint, two sherds of medieval pottery, one sherd of post-medieval pottery and 11 fragments of post-medieval ceramic building material.
