Map

May-July 2020. Trial Trenching.
Evaluation of route of proposed A47 Blofield to North Burlingham upgrade works (Trenches 95-96).
The two trenches excavated at this location revealed only a single north-north-east to south-south-west aligned ditch. This feature produced a single brick fragment of medieval or post-medieval date and potentially coincided with a similarly-aligned former field boundary depicted on the Blofield tithe map (S1).
See report (S2) for further details.
An archive associated with this work has been deposited with Norwich Castle Museum (NWHCM : 2020.103).
