23 February 2008. Fieldwalking survey.
Fieldwalking training day undertaken by the Breckland Society within Church Field (south of the church). Two blocks of transects were walked, the southernmost of which (Area B) included part of NHER 1047. A number of worked flints were recovered including a snapped Mesolithic microlith. A single patinated blade was also of potentially relatively early in date (both from Area B). The remainder of the flint assemblage comprised 25 flakes, some with use-wear and/or retouch. Most were relatively crude, displaying characteristics of a Late Bronze Age or Early Iron Age assemblage. A few were however of possible Neolithic or Early Bronze Age date. Other finds noted included a thin scatter of red brick and pantile and two sherds of Grimston ware.
