Full Description
11 April 1985.
Seen from car window, not yet examined on ground. In northeast corner of field south of Stracey Arms public house.
Low mound estimated at 1m high, 25m across, crowned by corrugated iron cowshed. Hardly likely to be natural here. Possible saltern site? Date?
A. Gregory (NAU), 12 April 1985.
August 2003.
It was intended that a singe trench would be excavated through this mound as part of an archaeological evaluation undertaken prior to the proposed dualling of the A47 'Acle Straight'. The mound proved impossible to locate, with local sources indicating that it had been removed "about ten years ago" and was not of archaeological significant.
Not a saltern. Mound had been created from mucking out the cow shed. Both now demolished.
See report (S1) for further details.
