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.
The excavation of this pond to a depth of approximately 0.4m revealed a dark brown-black peat in which fibrous plant material was evident. This was overlain by a dark grey-brown silty clay. The uppermost deposit at this location also consisted of peaty material. Large pieces of natural, unmodified wood were noted but not removed.
See report (S1) for further details.
An archive associated with this work has been deposited with Norwich Castle Museum (NWHCM : 2022.14).
