Abstract:
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Solarcentury to carry out an archaeological evaluation at Frogs Loke, North Walsham, Norfolk (NGR 629190 327550). The fieldwork was carried out over five days (14th to 18th September 2015). Only two features, a shallow circular pit and a deeper pit or ditch terminus in Trench 4 were dated by pottery to the Early-Middle Bronze Age period. The Bronze Age dated pits in Trench 4 may be associated with a relatively substantial V-shaped undated ditch located at the west end of Trench 4. This ditch corresponds well with the geophysical anomaly of a small enclosure. The majority of the undated ditches uncovered during this evaluation follow a north-north-west to south-south-east alignment, although these were all undated during this evaluation, some further interpretation can be suggested by re-assessing the geophysical survey and historic maps. One ditch identified in Trenches 2, 10 and 13 is shown on historic maps and so although undated by retrieved artefacts, is considered to be post-medieval. The spatial alignment would suggest that these are likely to represent a medieval strip field system. The post-medieval field system clearly has vestiges of the medieval strip fields, and so some of these boundaries may have been retained from the medieval period into the post-medieval period.
