Full Description
April-August 2011. Watching Brief.
Monitoring of flood defence works undertaken along the bank of the River Bure as part of the Broadland Flood Alleviation Project (Compartment 9).
During topsoil stripping 13 post-medieval/modern pottery sherds were recovered in this field. Although these objects are themselves unremarkable their presence in the marshes is unusual. They are probably the result of this land having been manured with material that incorporated household refuse.
See report (S1) for further details.
