Full Description
July 2005-February 2006. Watching Brief.
Monitoring of groundworks associated with the A11 Attleborough Bypass Improvement Scheme.
The stripping of an area adjacent to Bridge Farm revealed a series of walls that probably represented the remains of demolished farm buildings. These were mostly constructed of red brick, flint and mortar, suggesting they had probably been of some age. Bridge Farm (itself now also entirely demolished) is shown on the Attleborough tithe map of 1838 (S1), but buildings of some kind are also shown at this location on Faden's map of 1797 (S2).
The site was covered by rubble and other debris from the demolition of these structures.
No finds were recovered.
See report (S3) for further details. The results of the work associated with this project are also summarised in (S4).
The work at this location was originally assigned NHER 41940.
