NHER 61169 (Find Spot record) - Multi-period finds

May 2011. Geophysical Survey.
Magnetometry survey of several proposed development areas.
See report (S1) and NHERs 56535-56538 for further details.

June 2011. Systematic Fieldwalking Survey.
Field survey of several proposed development areas. Unfortunately it is not clear from the report exactly which objects were recovered in which fields. Finds recovered included:
1 late prehistoric flint leaf arrowhead, 2 awls, 1 combination tool, 1 denticulate, 1 knife, 2 retouched blades, 17 retouched flakes, 1 notch, 3 scrapers, 12 blades, 100 flakes, 7 cores, 9 core fragments and 13 flaked 'chunks'.
3 Iron Age pottery sherds.
5 medieval pottery sherds.
22 medieval/post-medieval pottery sherds.
92 post-medieval pottery sherds, 163 brick/tile fragments, 57 clay pipe fragments and 56 glass fragments.
96 modern pottery sherds.
22 undatable shell fragments.
Apart from the leaf arrowhead (which is Early Neolithic) this worked flint assemblage included few diagnostic implements, although it was felt that much of the debitage was associated with mid-to-late Bronze Age knapping.
See report (S2) for further details.

September 2015. Trial Trenching.
Evaluation of large proposed development area.
The results of this work are primarily recorded under NHERs 56536-56538.
However a small assemblage of unstatified prehistoric worked flints were only assigned general context numbers and therefore cannot be associated with specific fields. These include a number of squat flakes and a chopping tool of probable Middle Bronze Age to Iron Age date and a flake struck from a flint quern.
Information from report uploaded to OASIS. HER copy awaited.
An archive associated with this work has been deposited with Norwich Castle Museum (NWHCM : 2017.608).

NOTE: No additional finds to be added to this record unless similarly poorly-provenanced.
