Abstract: |
This report presents the results of research carried out by Witham Archaeology in relation to the site of land off Marsh Lane, Bracon Ash, Norfolk. The report, commissioned by Plandescil Ltd., will form part of a submission for a planning application relating to the construction of a solar park. The site comprises two agriculture fields located to the south of the village of Bracon Ash. There is evidence of activity in the area surrounding the Site possibly dating back to the Mesolithic period. Finds dating of Late Prehistoric to post medieval date have been found during metal detecting surveys in several fields within the HER search area, especially to the south and west of the proposed area of development. Possible Bronze Age barrows, a possible Prehistoric burnt mound, possible medieval enclosures and field systems have been identified within the HER search area, through geophysical surveys and from aerial photographs. Cartographic evidence suggests that the Site was located within agricultural fields or unoccupied land from at least the late medieval period. However, it is likely that the Site was undeveloped and used for agriculture since the late Saxon period. This investigation identified a low to medium potential for medium to high significance Prehistoric remains, a low potential for medium to high significance Roman occupation remains, a low potential for post Roman low to medium significance occupation remains, and high potential for low significance agricultural remains dating from the Saxon to the modern periods within the proposed area of development. |
