Abstract: |
The results of Archaeological Monitoring of a development of three barn-style attached dwellings with garages on land (c. 1600m2) at Manor Farm Barns, Back Lane, Martham, Norfolk. Manor Farm is suggested to be on the site of a possible medieval manor. The area of groundworks has seen significant disturbance from early to mid-20th century and later disturbance associated with the construction of a large barn/factory workshop and its subsequent demolition. The subsoil had been mostly removed and imported levelling deposits of clinker used to level much of the site. Two ditches were recorded, both of which appear to have been purposefully infilled prior to the construction of former engineering works here. A dump of domestic waste was noted in one of the ditches, which included household ceramics and bottle glass from the late 19th to early 20th century. No evidence was found which could relate the possible site of a medieval manor. Natural features of some antiquity were present within the clay brickearth, which may relate to former channels and ponding, indicating rather wet ground prior to post-medieval drainage improvements in the general area. |
