Full Description
November 2010. Desk-based Assessment.
Assessment of large proposed development area to north-east of Norwich.
See report (S1) for further details.
P. Watkins (HES), 1 May 2023.
September 2012-March 2013. Geophysical Survey.
Magnetometer survey of part of large proposed development area (Field 2).
This survey identified no potentially archaeologically-significant responses.
There was therefore no evidence for surviving sub-surface remains associated with a possible enclosure and other linear features visible as cropmarks on aerial photographs of this location (NHER 53496).
Although numerous discrete areas of magnetic enhancement were recorded these are all thought to have been caused by changes in the underlying natural geology.
Scattered isolated dipolar anomalies and areas of magnetic disturbance around the field margins probably represent ferrous material (most likely modern debris).
See report (S2) for further details.
