Full Description
THIS WORK WAS PREVIOUSLY RECORDED UNDER NHER 51432.
September-November 2008. Trial Trenching.
Evaluation of site on proposed route of Sheringham Shoals Offshore Windfarm Grid Connection cable (Trenches 11-13).
The three trenches excavated at this location revealed two ditches and a pit, none of which produced any dating evidence.
The subsoil present was regarded as evidence of medieval open-field-type agriculture.
See reports (S1) and (S2) for further details. This work is also noted in (S3).
Previously recorded under NHER 51432.

2009-2010. Watching Brief.
Monitoring of topsoil stripping and other groundworks associated with installation of the Sheringham Shoals Offshore Windfarm Grid Connection cable.
It appears that no additional features were observed during this phase of work.
Several medieval artefacts were apparently recovered from subsoil deposits, including two coins.
Previously recorded under NHER 51432.
Final report awaited. See assessment report (S2) for further details.
