Full Description
March 2009-March 2010. Watching Brief.
Maintained during the excavation of a new drainage dyke as part of the Broadland Flood Alleviation Project (Compartment 7).
No archaeologically-significant features or deposits were recorded.
It was noted that the natural silty clay deposits in this area were soft with particularly high organic content. The depth of this organic matter varied but was not thought to be within cut features. In two areas fragments of round wood were observed but these were not worked and did not appear to relate to structures.
Finds were limited to three sherds of post-medieval and late post-medieval/modern pottery and two post-medieval copper alloy objects, all of which were recovered at the eastern end of this site.
See report (S1) for further details.
