Full Description
April 2008-June 2010. Watching Brief.
Monitoring of excavation of new soke dykes as part of the Broadland Flood Alleviation Project (Compartment 11).
The dykes excavated on the south bank of the River Bure between TG 4140 1050 and TG 4196 1051 revealed no archaeologically-significant remains.
A small assemblage of unstratified pottery was collected at this location (Site 1), although this consists primarily of late post-medieval to modern wares. The one exception was a Beauvais slipware plate of late 15th- to 16th-century date. Three pieces of post-medieval clay tobacco pipe stem and a modern wall tile fragment were also recovered.
This material was most likely waste from Marsh Farm to the east, which was present by at least mid 19th century.
See report (S1) for further details.
