Summary

Archaeological fieldwork at this site between 2019 and 2020 revealed little in the way of significant remains. An initial geophysical survey recorded no anomalies of interest. Subsequent trial trenching also had largely negative results with only a small number of undated ditches and two possible pits recorded. No finds were recovered.

Map

November 2019-February 2020. Geophysical Survey.
Magnetometer survey of land on route of proposed North Tuddenham to Easton A47 Improvement Works (Area F1).
No potentially archaeologically-significant anomalies were identified.
Areas of magnetic disturbance around the margins of the site and scattered discrete dipolar anomalies were probably caused by ferrous material in the topsoil (most likely modern debris).
Information from draft report. Final version awaited.

July-October 2020. Trial Trenching.
Evaluation of land on route of proposed North Tuddenham to Easton A47 Improvement Works (Area 1; Trenches 1-7).
The seven trenches excavated revealed only a small number of scattered ditches and discrete features, none of which produced any dating evidence. The ditches were mostly aligned either north-north-west to south-south-east or north-to-south. The discrete features included two possible pits but the majority were thought to be of probable natural origin.
No finds were recovered.
See report (S1) for further details.
An archive associated with this work has been deposited with Norwich Castle Museum (NWHCM : 2020.131).
