NHER 62126 (Find Spot record) - Prehistoric and Roman finds

September 2015-March 2016. Watching Brief.
Monitoring of deliberate ground disturbance works undertaken as part of the Breaking New Ground Landscape Partnership project.
An initial phase of work saw the excavation of a line of relatively small pits, none of which exposed natural geological deposits. Finds were limited to two prehistoric flint flakes and a single burnt flint.
A second phase of work comprised fieldwalking and metal-detecting along a narrow, sinuous harrowed strip. Three additional prehistoric worked flints were recovered but modern tent pegs were the only metal objects found.
See report (S1) for further details.
An archive associated with this work has been deposited with Norwich Castle Museum (NWHCM : 2022.123).
