Abstract:
The earliest remains comprised part of a probable Roman track, bounded by flanking ditches spaced c. 12m apart, that crossed the site on an east to west alignment. There was no evidence for metalling but tentative evidence for cartwheel ruts was identified between the ditches. A small assemblage of Roman pottery was recovered from the northern ditch. In the medieval period the site lay within an open-field system to the east of the village of Snettisham, as demonstrated by the presence of a series of north to south aligned furrows across the site. The furrows were first identified by a geophysical survey and were subsequently identified and investigated in one of the trial trenches. Ditches in the north-east corner of the site probably date to the late medieval or post-medieval period and are likely to form the junction of former field boundaries that post-date the open field system. The ditch fills contained post-medieval brick fragments and pottery; residual sherds of abraded Iron Age and Roman pottery were also recovered, suggesting activity in the vicinity during these periods.
