Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Solarcentury to carry out an archaeological evaluation at Bunn's Wood Hill, North Walsham, Norfolk (NGR 629250 327695). The fieldwork was carried out over seven days (10th to 18th September 2015). All of the 17 excavated trenches, except one, contained archaeological features, mainly comprising a low density of ditches, as well as occasional pits and two undated curvilinear gullies. The uncovered archaeological features show a very good correlation with potential archaeological anomalies identified in the preceding geophysical survey. Only two features, ditches in Trench 4 and Trench 7, were dated by pottery to the medieval period. Despite the lack of dated features, it is probable that three phases of field system are represented on the Site. One system identified with a main north-north-west to south-south-east axis is shown on Tithe and Enclosure maps and is therefore considered post-medieval in date. A second field system follows a very similar alignment to the former. The above described post-medieval field system clearly has vestiges of this earlier system. Traces of a third undated, yet potentially older, field system also seems to be represented by a north-east to south-west ditch in Trench 6 which appears to continue into the adjacent site. A north-west to south-east aligned undated ditch in Trench 8 may also be associated with this. No dating evidence for these field boundaries has been recovered. |
