Map
Full Description
November 2005. Desk-based Assessment.
There is no known evidence for archaeological remains on the site, although it lies 125m south of the ruined church. Cartographic evidence suggests that this site lies in the village fields. The area around the site is characterised by 19th century terraced houses, some of which were destroyed by bombing during World War Two. The Bomb Map of the city shows a bomb landing point within the development plot, although the accuracy of the record does not enable this to be stated with certainty, especially as the 1946 RAF aerial photographs show a pre-war industrial building remaining in this location.
See report (S1) for further details.

June 2010. Norfolk NMP.
Although the pre-war industrial building described above was still standing in 1946, it is clear from earlier aerial photographs (for example (S2) that the site had been severely bomb damaged, probably in the same raid as that which created the bomb craters 50m to the northeast (NHER 53424).
