Abstract: |
A basic archaeological investigation was carried out by ther Norfolk Archaeological Unit along the line of the Chettisham S101A Sewer, Chettisham between May and July 2002. The work was commisioned by Anglian Water. Previous archaeological work in the vicinity of the sewer suggested that prehistoric, Roman, Saxon and medieval artefacts, features and deposits might be present along its length. However, during this investigation only a limited number of modern features were found. This suggests that the development area has not been used in such a way to warrant the cutting of features through the natural clay until relatively recently. It is probable that the area around the north-east to south-west aligned part of the main sewer has been mostly used, since the Iron Age, for agricultural purposes. The lack of any settlement evidence beneath The Hamlet might suggest that the road is of relatively early date, although the only former road surface observed was a modern one. |
