Abstract: |
The work was commissioned by CgMs on behalf of Bennett Homes to assess the archaeological implications of development of land known as Valles and Woodlands, Croxton, Norfolk. The work comprised the excavation of two archaeological evaluation trenches measuring 25m (trench 1) and 15m (trench 2). In trench 1 the remains of a flint cobble wall footing [12] was found running east-west near the northern perimeter of the site. The date of this feature is unknown. Although there is a possibility that this wall is medieval in date, it may well represent a later feature, e.g. a garden wall associated with the Vicarage located immediately to the south of the site. Three small sherds of medieval pottery were recovered from the topsoil overlying the wall. Trench 2 contained no archaeological finds or features and displayed evidence of considerable tree root disturbance and modern garden activity. |
