Map

December 2006 - January 2007. Geophysical survey. King's Lynn to Wisbech pipeline, Stage 1.
Fieldwork in this area has recovered Iron Age and Roman pottery and geophysical survey detected relatively strong and narrow anomalies that could represent a ditched enclosure and smaller magnetic anomalies that could indicate pits. It is possible that the features detected by the geophysical survey could be contemporary with the finds from this area and therefore suggest a date between the Iron Age and Roman period.
