Abstract: |
Britannia Archaeology Ltd (BA) undertook an archaeological trial trench evaluation at Misty Dawn, Deopham Road, Great Ellingham, Norfolk (TM 0211 9725) on behalf of Locus Planning Ltd. The post-determinative trial trenching comprised four trenches measuring 35.00m x 1.80m, 30.00m x 1.80m, 20.00m x 1.80m, and 10.00m x 1.80m. There was a moderate to high potential for finds and features relating to the Roman and Medieval periods, a moderate potential for prehistoric finds and features, and a moderate potential for finds and features from the post-medieval period particularly relating to field boundaries. Despite the above potential no archaeological finds or features were present. There appeared to have been some landscaping previously undertaken at the northern end of the site towards the roadside which might have destroyed shallow features. However, it seems most likely that the site has not previously been occupied. The subsoil is likely an agricultural subsoil of post-medieval date representing previous use of the site as agricultural fields. |
