Non-collection fieldwalking undertaken as part of archaeological assessment of Holkham Estate (Field 8).

1 prehistoric flint flake.
Thin scatter of Roman sherds and fragments of tile over the west end of the field little more than 15 to 20m from the edge, with a marked concentration of finds at the northwest corner. Also 1 fragment of tegula and 1 fragment of combed flue tile.
4 medieval pottery sherds (green glazed).
