August 2005. Watching Brief.
Monitoring of groundworks at Hill's End Farm (work part of the Attleborough Bypass A11 Improvement scheme).
The stripping of a narrow corridor at this location revealed a number of linear and discrete features. The former were mostly drainage gullies of probable recent date, although two ditches at the southern end of the site were possibly of greater archaeological significance. The discrete features included one possible pit that contained a number of prehistoric flint flakes, along with fragments of burnt flint and fired clay. The others were of probable natural origin.
See report (S4) for further details. The results of this fieldwork associated with this scheme are also summarised in (S4).
An archive associated with this work has been deposited with Norwich Castle Museum (NWHCM : 2025.173).
