Full Description
March 1992. Fieldwalking and Metal-detecting Survey and Watching Brief.
Tivetshall Sewerage Scheme.
Field survey of pipeline route followed by examination of stripped surface and, where necessary, monitoring of the excavation of the pipe trench itself.
Recovered Iron Age, Roman and Early Saxon pottery. Three Roman coins were recovered by fieldwalking and metal-detecting on the site of a Roman villa indicated by previous finds, other Roman metalwork was also uncovered; a medieval coin was also discovered. A concentration of cut features were revealed, of Roman and medieval date, these features included a ditch, which had been in filled during the early Saxon period.
See report (S1) for further details. The results of this work are also summarised in (S2) and (S3).

NAU also refer to Neolithic flints, Middle Saxon sherds, medieval lead spindle whorl and weight, Roman brick and tile including a 'lava brick' and Early Saxon iron key, but these do not appear in their report.
According to J.Reeve (NAU) this is because they were 'not confidently identified'.
E. Rose (NLA), 30 April 1993.
