NHER 24414 (Monument record) - Possible Roman kiln and multi-period finds

THE CROPMARKS FORMERLY RECORDED AS PART OF THIS NUMBER (PART OF CONTEXT 2) ARE NOW RECORDED AS NHER 45327.

March 11 1988. Site visited following report by farmer, area of report walked, well weathered ploughsoil.
Area about 100m across of Roman coarse pottery, brick, tegulae and fragments of hard fired clay - kiln wall? In north-western part of the scatter, 68m south and 28m west of northeast corner of field, area about 2m across of black soil with red and grey fired clay and a few sherds (context 2).
Looks like a Roman kiln site (between Brampton and Hevingham).
Note that the Roman material is on a patch of lighter gravelly soil in a generally heavier field. NAU aerial photographs show linear feature running through the area of sherds and a pale amorphous patch in a darker area which may well coincide with the kiln site (see NHER 45327).

1991-1992. Metal-detecting. [2].
4 Roman coins.
2 post-medieval tokens.
Information from PAS import.
It appears that most, if not all of these finds were later donated to Norwich Castle Museum (NWHCM : 2010.114). According to the museum's records the collection of artefacts from this location comprises "…a possible Roman coin hoard including radiates of Tetricus, found in a scatter, and assorted other finds of medieval to post-medieval date including weights, belt buckles, a sword pommel and a cauldron foot."
