Abstract: |
In June 2010 Archaeological Solutions (AS) conducted a trial trench evaluation on land off Massingham Road, Grimston, Norfolk (NGR TF 7215 2242). The evaluation was undertaken in compliance with a planning condition attached to planning permission to construct housing (Planning Reference BCKLWN 09/02026/F). The proposed development site is located between an Early Anglo-Saxon cemetery to the west and a medieval moated site to the east. Iron Age, Roman, Anglo-Saxon and medieval finds have been found in the vicinity of the site. The site thus had a potential to contain significant archaeological remains. The trial trench evaluation revealed a 19th century pit (F1003) cut into a layer of 15th/16th century made ground which extended continuously across the site. A large ditch (F1009) at the eastern end of Trench 4 contained two Iron Age sherds. No other archaeological features were present. |
