Abstract: |
An archaeological excavation was conducted for Small Fish ahead of the construction of a Dutch barn at Hall Farm, Tasburgh in Norfolk. Due to the presence of several historic sites within 300m of the development, including probable Bronze Age round barrows, this work necessitated that the footprint of the new barn be fully excavated. A total of seven pits were observed, excavated and recorded within the footprint of the barn. A cluster of three of the pits located at the southern edge of the site is likely to be Neolithic-Bronze Age in date. The findings link with the known prehistoric activity to the south-west of the farm and support the idea that the Tas valley was particularly attractive in the Neolithic and Bronze Age due to its well-draining soils and access to water. Two of the pits are likely to be recent in date and a further two were undated. |
