Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was undertaken on behalf of Wherry Housing Association ahead of a small residential development on the northern side of Rackheath, near Norwich. The evaluation comprised four trenches. Trenches 1 to 3 contained no archaeology, while Trench 4, which was located closest to the road, contained two gullies and a small pit which were almost certainly modern and probably connected with the allotments situated there in the recent past. A fragment of concrete was found within one of the gullies. At the southern end of Trench 4 was an undated ditch which probably represented an earlier field boundary; it does not appear on any recent maps and would appear to predate 1887. At the northern end of the trench an Upper Palaeolithic flint tool was found in the top of the natural silt, suggesting that the natural silt may be of archaeological interest. |
