Full Description
November 2002 - January 2003. Geophysical, metal detecting and fieldwalking survey. Bacton to King's Lynn Transco pipeline. Plot number 52.
A complex of intersecting linear and curvilinear features associated with high magnetic suscpetibility readings were recorded over an area up to 320m long, the evidence was indicative of a settlement site. Fieldwalking survey found a small scatter of eight medieval pot sherds and a fragment of lava quern stone as well as a brick fragment. It is likely that these findings represent the remains of a shrunken medieval village associated with Manor Farmhouse (NHER 29971), c. 150m to the southwest, and the site of St Giles' isolated church, c. 200m west.

(S1) above states the possible shrunken medieval village is associated with Manor Farmhouse. Please note that the UEA Farm Building Survey (S2) recorded the buildings of Manor Farm (NHER 29971) as early 18th century and later.
