Abstract: |
MOLA Northampton carried out geophysical survey and trial trench evaluation across predominantly arable land on the northern edge of Thetford, between the town and the A11 bypass, either side of the A1075 Norwich Road. Seven trenches targeted geophysical anomalies, possible pits and ditches. The majority of features appeared to be natural in origin, with root disturbance or burning being seen frequently. Three features were dated to the middle/late Iron Age, a ditch and two pits. Lithic material was also recovered from two features, a small pit and one ditch. This indicates a possible relationship to the Iron Age activity located to the west, near to Gallows Hill, that has previously been investigated. |
