Full Description
2011. Watching Brief.
Large quantities of burnt flints were noted during the widening of a dyke and examination for Broadland Environmental Services Ltd showed that a pot boiler mound was present. The exceptional feature of this mound is its survival to a height of 0.5m, having been buried by subsequent deposits of peat. This site lay only 0.25km to the east of NHER 54133, which gives added significance to the dating and understanding of the landscape in the Waveney Valley during the prehistoric period.
