Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken of an area of land adjoining Swanton Morley airfield, Beetley, Norfolk. The work was designed to establish the extents of an Early Anglo-Saxon cemetery discovered during an earlier evalaution phase of Trial Trenching and an area of probable Roman settlement revealed during monitoring of topsoil stripping. Eleven evaluation trenches were sstrategically placed in order to achieve these objectives. Trenches located in the vicinity of the cemetery uncovered three further cremations and asingle inhumation furnished with a rich array of gravegoods. Analysis and illustration of the cremations and gravegoods from the inhumation are to be presented in a future report. An Anglo-Saxon settlement site which is probably contemporary with the cemetery was also discovered. The settlement was represented by Sunken Featured Buildings, pits and post-holes. Trenches located around the postulated area of Roman settlement revealed several ditches and a pit. |
