Full Description
March-April 2011. Fieldwalking. Field 8.
A wide range of finds dating from the Neolithic to the post medieval period were recovered during a systematic field survey which covered eight fields on the northern and eastern edge of Hethersett.
Flint finds from this field consisted of one core, 196 flakes, 14 blades, 3 scrapers, and 2 unidentified flint tools. This assemblage has been broadly dated to the Neolithic or Early Bronze Age and represents the north-western edge of a concentration of activity noted in Field 10 to the south-east (NHER 58844).
Only four sherds of Roman pottery and one sherd of Late Saxon pottery were collected.
A small quantity of medieval pottery; moderate quantities of medieval to post medieval roof tile, floor or wall tile, and brick; late 17th to early 18th century pantile; a scatter of 17th to 19th century clay pipe fragments; a moderate quantity of post-medieval pottery, and a high concentration of 19th century pottery was also recovered. The post-medieval pottery assemblage contained an unusually high proportion of 17th to early 19th century high-status wares that could indicate night-soiling from Norwich or possibly from a nearby inn.
Metal-detecting yielded a small quantity of objects in the majority of the studied fields. These have not been reported in detail, but generally consisted of typical post medieval to modern night soiling and agricultural debris.
