Full Description
2004-2005. Desk-based Assessment.
Archaeological assessment of western route options for Norwich Northern Distributor Road.
See reports (S1) and (S2) for further details.
P. Watkins (HES), 12 July 2019.
April 2012-April 2013. Geophysical Survey.
Magnetometer surveys on proposed line of Norwich Northern Distributor Route (Blocks 25 and 26).
Linear anomalies that are likely to represent soil-filled ditches were identified in both of the areas examined. Several of these appear to correspond with former field boundaries visible on 19th-century maps.
A cluster of discrete anomalies close to the junction of Calf Lane and Bullock Hill is likely to correspond with a former gravel pit shown at this location on early 20th-century maps.
Although a range of other anomalies were identified these are not thought to be of archaeological significance, being most likely of agricultural or geological origin.
See report (S3) for further details.
Previously recorded under NHER 15793.
