NHER 68258 (Monument record) - Undated pits and linear features

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

Trial trenching at this site in 2020 uncovered a number of pits and several linear features. Although these remains contained little in the way of dating evidence it is likely that most (if not all) were associated with recent horticultural activity. Finds were limited to several worked flints of probable Mesolithic/Early Neolithic date and an abraded Roman pottery sherd.
