Full Description
April-May 2021. Trial Trenching.
Evaluation of site on proposed route of Anglian Water Norwich to Wymondham water pipeline (Trenches 15-17).
The three trenches excavated at this location revealed only a single, north-west to south-east aligned ditch. A Late Bronze Age/Early Iron Age pottery was recovered from this feature along with a fragment of animal bone, although the pottery was most likely residual as the aligned of this ditche was identical to that of a former boundary shown immediately to the south on the Great Melton Tithe map (S1).
Information from draft report. Final version awaited.
P. Watkins (HES), 11 August 2026.
