A 5.7m x 5.7m trench was excavated by members of the Norfolk Historic Environment Service and the Portable Antiquities Scheme, assisted by a number of volunteer metal-detectorists. The purpose of the trench was to investigate an area where two Early Saxon gold pendants were found in 2009 and 2017. No archaeological features were observed and the only find was a medieval copper alloy buckle pin. The pin was not recorded on the PAS database.
