Abstract: |
In December 2009 and January 2010 Archaeological Solutions Ltd (AS) conducted an archaeological evaluation on land at Breydon Water Holiday Park, Yare Village, Butt Lane, Burgh Castle, Norfolk (NGR TG 4779 0439) prior to the proposed static caravan park redevelopment (Figs 1 and 2). The site is located c.250 metres to the south-east of Burgh Castle Roman Fort (NHER 10471), a Scheduled Monument associated with the late Roman, middle Saxon and Norman periods. The Norfolk National Mapping Programme (NMP) revealed cropmarks in the area relating to Roman, late Saxon and undated occupation outside the fort comprising structures, enclosures, pits, trackways and field boundaries (NHER 10486, 11605, 49203, 49204, 49205, 49210; Fig. 4). Metal detected finds of Iron Age, Roman, Anglo-Saxon, medieval and post-medieval date have also been recovered from the vicinity (NHER 13227, 17261). The evaluation revealed 36 linear features, many of which correspond to the observed crop marks. Seventeen pits and postholes were also present. The majority of finds comprise later 3rd - 4th century Roman pottery, CBM and animal bone. Silt-filled depressions were recorded in the centre of the site, the lowest point of the site. |
