Full Description
July 2007. Watching Brief.
Monitoring of groundworks associated with the installation of the Colney Yare Valley Pipeline (Field 6).
A single pit was recorded in this field. This feature contained a number of worked flints (including several Early Neolithic pieces) and a significant quantity of heat-affected flint. The worked flints were in a fairly unworn condition, suggesting may well not have been residual.
See assessment report (S1) for further details.
Previously recorded under NHER 50484.
