Abstract: |
NPS Archaeology carried out informative archaeological trial trenching in advance of proposed development at the John Grant School, St George's Drive, Caister-on-Sea, Norfolk. The work was in response to a brief issued by Norfolk County Council Environment Service with fieldwork and reporting funded by Norfolk County Council Children's Services. Archaeological remains were identified in four of the five trenches, with a total of eighteen separate archaeological features recorded, including pits, post-holes, ditches and two uncharacterised features A considerable depth of subsoil was present across the site. Dating of the archaeological remains was difficult due to the low levels of cultural material recovered from the features recorded. However, the presence of numerous struck flints, along with small quantities of Early Iron Age and Romano-British pottery suggests a broad preliminary later prehistoric to Romano- British' date for the activity identified at the site.. This activity was most likely agrarian in nature or derives from small-scale occupation. . |
