Full Description
Black soil filling area, possible stream bed, water lies in wet weather.
Sand on edge from railway to Salhouse Road.
R. R. Clarke (NCM).
Is this the 'Black Dyke' marked on (S1)?
E. Rose (NAU).
November 2008. Norfolk NMP.
A paleochannel is visible on aerial photographs (S2) of the area, stretching for approximately 1km, oriented roughly east west and in the same position as the stream bed described above.
E. Bales (NMP), 17 November 2008.
December 2006-January 2007. Geophysical Survey.
Magnetometer survey on proposed line of Norwich Northern Distributor Road (Area 9).
Although the strip examined crossed the probable line of this feature no potentially associated anomalies were detected.
See report (S3) and NHER 63454 for further details.
P. Watkins (HES), 16 June 2019.
March-June 2009. Geophysical Survey.
Magnetometer survey on proposed line of the Norwich Northern Distributor Road (Site G1).
Several weak linear anomalies identified close to the pond in the centre of the field were seen as potentially evidence for an east-to-west aligned palaeochannel, although it is noted that they could also be the result of former agricultural practices.
See report (S4) and NHER 63454 for further details.
P. Watkins (HES), 16 June 2019.
April-August 2015. Trial Trenching.
Evaluation of site on proposed line of Norwich Northern Distributor Road (Field G1).
Nothing that could be associated with this palaeolochannel was recorded.
See report (S5) and NHER 63454 for further details.
