NHER 37628 (Monument record) - Multi-period finds and features, Bacton to King's Lynn Transco Pipeline

November 2002 - January 2003. Fieldwalking, metal detecting andgeophysical survey. Bacton to King's Lynn Transco pipeline. Construction section 28, plot number 119.
Geophysical survey identified linear anomalies defining up to five conjoined rectangular enclosures, or possibly garden remains. It was thought that these might be associated with the possible building remains found in plot 120 (NHER 37627). Fieldwalking recovered only one sherd of Iron Age or medieval pottery and fragments of post-medieval pantile. Metal detecting discovered two lead objects, one of which may be a post medieval cloth seal.

January - August 2003. Excavation.
Excavation revealed features including a medieval rectilinear system of ditches and short gullies and an apparent D-shaped enclosure; a post-medieval wall, possibly an early post-medieval barn and two parallel ditches.
Currently undated ditch, pits and post holes may be medieval. Pre-Conquest activity is suggested by a small but significant quantity of residual Late Saxon pottery. It is possible that the medieval features could be related to the post-medieval hall site on the north of the area (NHER 14043).
