Full Description
April-May 2017. Test Pit.
Excavation of test pit as part of the Norfolk Archaeological Trust's 'Imagined Land' project - a community archaeology project funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund (Test Pit 13).
This test pit proved to be located within an area of heavily landscaped ground, with only a mix of redeposited soil, rubble and other modern debris encountered. Excavation had to be halted at a depth of 0.25m when this material became so compact it could only be removed with a mattock. Apart from two burnt flints all of the finds recovered were of modern date.
See report (S1) for further details.
