Full Description
November 2017-March 2018. Strip Map and Sample Excavation.
Excavation on route of Anglian Water Overstrand to Mundesley pipeline. This section of the pipeline easement was subject to full excavation due to its proximity to a number of potentially archaeologically-significant cropmarks, including a possible ring-ditch (NHER 56098).
Two pits and a probable tree-throw hollow were the mostly notable of the features uncovered, although these all appeared to be of relatively recent. Two produced single sherds of 19th-/20th-century pottery.
A shallow north-east to south-west aligned linear feature at the north-western end of the site was interpreted as the probable remains of a hedgerow. This appears to have coincided with the line of the Northrepps/Sidestrand parish boundary (which has followed this line since at least the mid 19th century). A nearby, similarly-aligned linear feature was thought to be some form of palaeochannel.
Information from draft report. Final version awaited.
An archive associated with this work has been deposited with Norwich Castle Museum (NWHCM : 2019.248).
