Abstract: |
An archaeological excavation was undertaken by Norfolk Archaeological Unit at Meadow Farm, Wilby. This work followed an earlier evaluation that identified features of Late Saxon and post-medieval date. The excavation revealed evidence of three phases of agricultural land-use. The earliest phase of activity, represented by a series of parallel linear features, appeared to be Late Saxon. Differently aligned ditches of possibly medieval and post-medieval date were also identified. Apart from a single undated post-hole the remainder of the features excavated proved to be natural. The limited range of features present and the small artefactual assemblage recovered suggests that this area lay on the periphery of the village throughout the historic periods. |
