Full Description
December 2004. Norfolk Rapid Coastal Zone Archaeological Survey.
Land based fieldwork phase of the Norfolk Rapid Coastal Survey.
Area A71; grazing marsh, drainage channels and reed beds.
Features observed included a series of mounds and hollows, possibly used for salt working or brick making. The area is labelled 'Brick Marsh' on a map of 1769, see (S1). A number of ditches and banks relate to drainage and land reclamation, or possibly ridge and furrow.
Area A72; known locally as 'Friary Hills', undulating grass and scrub.
Several possible quarries, and pieces and medieval and post medieval roof tile were found.
See assessment report (S2) for further details. This work is also noted in (S3).
