NHER 68654 (Monument record) - Undated pits and ditches

February-March 2022. Geophysical Survey.
Magnetometer survey of proposed development area (Field 9).
This survey identified no potentially archaeologically-significant responses. The only anomalies recorded are a series of striations thought to reflect plough lines
See report (S1) for further details.

March-July 2023. Trial Trenching.
Evaluation of proposed development area (Trenches 34-36 and 43-49).
The ten trenches excavated revealed a number of ditches and pits, the majority of which produced little or no dating evidence.
The ditches were all aligned roughly north-to south or north-north-west to south-south-east. Finds were limited to a single presumably residual prehistoric flint flake and a post-medieval iron horseshoe.
All but one of the pits lay in a single cluster at the southern end of the site. These produced no finds.
There was no evidence for sub-surface remains associated with the Attleborough/Old Buckenham, which coincided with several trenches and has followed this line since at least the mid 19th century.
