Map

April 2008-June 2010. Watching Brief.
Monitoring of excavation of new soke dyke as part of the Broadland Flood Alleviation Project (Compartment 11).
The only remains of note were six wooden posts seen at c. TG 4279 1036 (Site 6). These formed two parallel east-to-west aligned rows and were almost certainly modern in date – being well preserved in non-waterlogged conditions. Similar wooden posts with modern iron fittings were also found discarded nearby, suggesting these had once formed part of a recent field boundary.
No finds were recovered.
See report (S1) for further details.
