Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was conducted for Little Green Consulting Ltd during the laying of a gas pipeline on the Euston Estate at Fakenham Magna, Suffolk. Two undated pits, two undated ditches and a 19th-century brick culvert were encountered. The find assemblage was limited, comprising two prehistoric flint waste flakes and two sherds of pottery (one Roman and one medieval). Perhaps the most interesting of the features was one of the pits that was filled with heat-affected flint (often created in the process of heating liquids). The pit had evidence of scorching to the sides. This feature is undated, but by comparison with similar isolated pits with similar fills across the region, it is reasonable to suggest that it is probably of Bronze Age date (2,500 BC - 700 BC). No evidence of the supposed disserted village of Little Fakenham was present. |
