Summary

Archaeological work at this site between 2008 and 2010 recorded several undated ditches. These parallel ditches were exposed during trial trenching in 2008 and were thought to be of probable post-medieval date. Two post-medieval coins were recovered during a subsequent watching brief in 2009/2010 but no additional features were observed.

Map

September-November 2008. Trial Trenching.
Evaluation of site on proposed route of Sheringham Shoals Offshore Windfarm Grid Connection cable (Trenches 21a and 22).
One of the two trenches excavated in this field exposed three parallel east-to-west aligned ditches. No finds were recovered, although as these features were on the same alignment as extant field boundaries they were regarded as most likely post-medieval.
See reports (S1) and (S2) for further details. This work is also noted in (S3).
