Abstract: |
The Test Pitting Phase constituting part of an archaeological evaluation has been undertaken at Pentney Quarry, Wormegay, Norfolk. The work involved the excavation of a series of Test Pits designed to map the geomorphology of the sands and gravels and to characterise deposits overlying mineral. The results are to be used to assist in devising a programme of Trial Trenching which forms the Trial Trenching Phase of this project. The work established that the gravels are relatively level with no distinct gravel 'islands'. It also established that the overlying deposits consist of a single uninterrupted sequence of peat growth with a maximum depth of 2.65m. Peat was recorded throughout the area of the site. No features of archaeological interest were discovered and no artefacts were recovered. |
