NHER 67333 (Negative evidence record) - Site with no evidence for archaeologically-significant remains

The Norfolk Heritage Explorer is a filtered version of the Norfolk HER intended for casual research. Please contact us to consult the full record.

Summary

Archaeological work at this location prior to and during the installation of the electrical connection for an offshore windfarm revealed little evidence for archaeologically-significant remains. Although an initial geophysical survey recorded several discrete anomalies that could represent infilled pits or hollows, a trial trench placed to investigate the main group revealed no corresponding sub-surface remains. A subsequent watching brief maintained during the installation of the electrical cable also recorded nothing of interest.
