NHER 63412 (Monument record) - Undated ditches and Roman and medieval finds

September-November 2008. Trial Trenching.
Evaluation of site on proposed route of Sheringham Shoals Offshore Windfarm Grid Connection cable (Trench 50).
The single trench excavated at this location exposed two intersecting ditches, one aligned north-west to south-east and the other west-north-west to east-south-east. Two Neolithic/Bronze Age flint flakes were recovered from the former and as a result this feature was seen as potentially prehistoric. The second ditch produced no finds but was probably of much more recent date, its alignment being similar to that of the adjacent extant field boundary.
