Abstract: |
Wessex Archaeology was commissioned by Solarcentury to carry out an archaeological evaluation on land at Oulton Airfield, Oulton, Norfolk (NGR 613877 327070). The fieldwork was carried out over five days (21st to 25th September 2015). This evaluation identified archaeological features within eight of the twelve excavated trenches, predominantly consisting of a low density of undated ditches, as well as two undated pits (Trench 7 and Trench 11), and a modern feature of uncertain type in Trench 10 considered to potentially be associated with the former WWII airfield. The features within the trial trenches showed a relatively poor correlation with potential archaeological anomalies identified in the preceding geophysical survey; likely a result of the variable underlying geology and identified areas of ferrous and increased magnetic response. The modern feature in Trench 10 comprised a circular pit with a central posthole that is a foundation cut for a type of small structure, possibly associated with the airfield, however its original function is presently uncertain. |
