Full Description

1969. Fieldwalking.
Area investigated as part of a much wider examination of Horningtoft village. This site was one of a number to produce medieval pottery and was interpreted as a probable area of medieval occupation. No Middle or Late Saxon pottery was recovered. See (S1) for further details. The pottery recovered is now held by the Norwich Castle Museum (NWHCM : 1998.50.30 : A).
This material was previously recorded under NHER 7177.

February/March 1996. Metal detecting.
Post-medieval coin from 'east of road'.
Originally recorded under NHER 7177 but presumably from this site.
See list in file.
