Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was carried out by the Norfolk Archaeological Unit at Chettisham S101A Pumping Station, during June 2002. The work was commissioned by Anglian Water. Previous archaeological work in the vicinity of the proposed pumping station suggested that prehistoric, Roman, Saxon and medieval artefacts, features and deposits might be present on the site. However, during the evaluation the only two features found were a field drain and a drainage feature, both of which were modern in date. As a result, it seems probable that the development area has not been used in such a way as to warrant the cutting of features through the natural clay until relatively recently. It has probably been mostly used, since the Iron Age, for agricultural purposes. |
