A. Cattermole (NLA), 16 September 2009.
April 2012-April 2013. Geophysical Survey.
Magnetometer survey on proposed line of Norwich Northern Distributor Road (Block 8).
This survey identified a weak north-west to south-east aligned linear anomaly at the eastern edge of the field. This probable ditch would appear to continue the line of a series of similarly-aligned cropmarks to the north-west that are thought to represent the remains of a trackway of possible Iron Age or Roman date (NHER 52380).
The majority of the other anomalies identified in this area were of probable agricultural or geological origin. Scattered discrete dipolar anomalies are typical of the responses caused by modern ferrous debris.
See report (S5) for further details.
P. Watkins (HES), 4 August 2015. Amended 9 May 2019.
