Abstract: |
Archaeology South-East (ASE), the contracting division of The Centre for Applied Archaeology at the Institute of Archaeology, University College London (UCL), was commissioned by CgMs Consulting Ltdto undertake a geophysical survey on Land at White House Farm, Sprowston, Norfolk, NGR 626583 311990. The work was undertaken between Wednesday 14th and Thursday 22nd March 2018. Evidence for possible archaeological features was represented by moderate positive anomalies. Though they could have an archaeological origin, such as pits or ditches, they may equally be the result of the natural geology. Areas of magnetic debris are likely to be caused by ground disturbance or demolished buildings. Some of which may be relatively recent due to previous construction work compounds. Ploughing is indicated by parallel anomalies observed across the site. The anomalies show a pattern of ploughing that cross each other showing different phases of ploughing have taken place. A number of services and possible services are noted across the site. Including a large anomaly running along the eastern edge of the site that corresponds to a known gas pipe. Evidence for archaeology was generally sparse. This may be due to the thickness of the overburden with the topsoil being noted, in open trenches running along the western edges of the site, as being up to 400mm in depth |
