Abstract: |
Between June and December 2004, Archaeological Solutions Ltd (AS) carried out a programme of archaeological monitoring and recording at Beetley Quarry; on land to the east of the former railway line, Norfolk (NGR TF 992 182). The site is located 400m to the west of the disused Swanton Morley Airfield, and forms part of the extensive Beetley sand and gravel quarry of which c. 11.6 hectares have been subject to previous archaeological investigation. This particular programme of archaeological monitoring and recording concerns an area of farmland encompassing an area of 3.75hectares. The site lies c. 1.10km south-east of Spong Hill, which is a site of international significance, forming the largest known early Saxon cremation cemetery in England. Despite the archaeological potential of the site, and its proximity to Spong Hill and the wealth of finds recovered from other sites within Beetley Quarry, no archaeological features, deposits or finds were located during the archaeological monitoring and recording undertaken at the site. |
