The Norfolk Heritage Explorer is a filtered version of the Norfolk HER intended for casual research. Please contact us to consult the full record.

Summary

Monitoring of ground works during the development of what was already an industrial site close to finds scatters of various dates revealed evidence for a site partially truncated in the mid 20th century while other previously undisturbed areas remain largely intact under new car parks. A linear feature recorded on aerial photographs (NHER 53550) appears to be a natural feature of likely periglacial origin.
