NHER 41106 (Find Spot record) - Medieval and post medieval metal objects

The Norfolk Heritage Explorer is a filtered version of the Norfolk HER intended for casual research. Please contact us to consult the full record.

Summary

Metal detecting in this area between 2004 and 2005 recovered a medieval strap fitting, a medieval coin, a medieval French jetton and a post-medieval coin. A much more systematic fieldwalking and metal-detecting survey undertaken in 2011 recovered objects of mostly post-medieval date, with earlier material limited to prehistoric flint flakes, a single medieval pottery sherd and a medieval/post-medieval binding strip. The post-medieval finds included pottery sherds, roof tiles, coins and a range of other metal objects.
