December 2004. Norfolk Rapid Coastal Zone Archaeological Survey.
Land-based survey; Area A25:
A winter crop was growing in this field. One tramline was present and was walked; it was located on the northern edge of the field. Along the tramline visibility was moderate, whilst amongst the crop it was low.
One piece of post-medieval pottery and two pieces of slag were gathered. As with the two pieces of slag collected nearby in NHER 51037,, the two pieces of slag in this field may indicate nearby metalworking. On the other hand, they could all be from a dump of ballast.
See assessment report (S1) for further details.
The associated archive has been deposited with the Norwich Castle Museum (NWHCM : 2017.421).
