NHER 61056 (Monument record) - Early medieval agricultural features and post-medieval/modern remains

July-August 2011. Watching Brief.
Monitoring of groundworks associated with construction of new housing development.
Within an area of undated, medieval and post-medieval cropmark features (NHER 45107).
This work revealed several early medieval ditches and pits. Later medieval finds were limited to a single 14th/15th century brick fragment and a single Late Medieval Transitional pottery sherd.
All other features and deposits identified were of probable post-medieval or modern date. These included masonry remains containing bricks of 17th-century date that were probably the remains of a building depicted at this location on 19th-century cartographic sources. A ditch that probably marked the boundary of this property was also identified.
See report (S1) for further details. The results of this work are also summarised in (S2).

The associated archive has been deposited with the Norwich Castle Museum (NWHCM : 2013.201).
