Full Description
August-September 2012. Watching Brief.
Monitoring of excavation of relatively shallow new pond as part of Broadland Flood Alleviation Project (Compartment 6a).
No archaeologically-significant features or deposits were recorded. There was therefore no evidence for surviving remains associated with several north-west to south-east aligned drainage channels visible on aerial photographs of the site (part of a group of features of probable post-medieval date recorded as NHER 27288). It is though noted that the identification of features was hampered by the presence of water within the new cut.
A natural deposit of grey orange silty clay was exposed, which was overlain by a thin and intermittent layer of peat. This was in turn overlain by a dark orange brown silty clay.
See report (S1) for further details.
An archive associated with this work has been deposited with Norwich Castle Museum (NWHCM : 2022.14).
