Full Description
November 2010. Desk-based Assessment.
Assessment of large proposed development area to north-east of Norwich.
See report (S1) for further details.
P. Watkins (HES), 1 May 2023.
September 2012-March 2013. Geophysical Survey.
Magnetometer survey of part of large proposed development area (Field 4).
This survey identified no potentially archaeologically-significant responses.
A group of discrete cropmarks previously noted on aerial photographs of this field (NHER 21127) were shown to coincide with a dense band of geophysical anomalies likely to result from variations in the underlying geology (these responses coinciding with a band of Lowestoft Till mapped at this location).
Numerous other small areas of magnetic enhancement across the remainder of the field are also of probable geological origin. Scattered isolated dipolar anomalies and areas of magnetic disturbance around the field margins probably represent ferrous material (most likely modern debris).
See report (S2) for further details.
