Magnetometry survey on proposed line of Norwich Northern Distributor Route (Block 39).
A linear anomaly likely to represent a soil-filled ditch was identified at the eastern end of the survey area. This features correspond with a former field boundary depicted on 19th-century maps. Although a range of other anomalies were identified these were not thought to be of archaeological significance, being most likely of agricultural or geological origin.
