Full Description
Medieval peat working.
See (S1).
September 2008-September 2011. Watching Brief.
Monitoring of groundworks undertaken as part of Broadland Flood Alleviation Project (Compartment 6). These works include the excavation of a new soke dyke along the eastern side of the channel connecting Womack Water to the River Thurne.
No archaeologically significant features or deposits were exposed. As elsewhere a sequence of dark grey and brownish orange clayey silts were exposed, sealed by a thin topsoil. Close to Womack Water peat was visible beneath the clayey silts.
See report (S2) for further details.
