Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was conducted for Mott MacDonald on behalf of Norfolk County Council ahead of the construction of a cycle route. Ten small hand-dug test pits were excavated along the proposed route of the cycle path This project has demonstrated that Late Saxon remains are present within the development site, in the form of a gravel surface and a deposit of rubbish, but it cannot be established whether the surface is a road or a yard surface and whether the rubbish deposit represents a midden or a pit fill. The small size of the trenches prevents any firm identification of the feature types encountered however the presence of bones of brown bear and possible rabbit are of interest. |
