Full Description
April 2008-June 2010. Watching Brief.
Monitoring of excavation of new soke dyke as part of the Broadland Flood Alleviation Project (Compartment 11).
No archaeologically-significant features or deposits were recorded and no finds recovered (Site 11).
There was no evidence for surviving remains associated with a group of linear earthworks visible on earthworks of this field and thought to potentially represent traces of post-medieval ridge and furrow-type cultivation (NHER 42177).
A collection of unstratified post-medieval to modern finds were collected during this work, including:
Undated possible whetstone or hone fragment.
19 post-medieval pottery sherds, 4 clay tobacco pipe fragments, 1 brick fragment, 2 pieces of bottle glass, 2 coins, a suspension ring and the leg and foot from a copper alloy vessel (possibly a trivet).
?Post-medieval possible writing slate fragment.
74 late post-medieval/modern pottery sherds.
The bulk of the pottery recovered is of probable 18th- to 19th-century date.
See report (S1) for further details.
