Abstract: |
In April 2010 Archaeological Solutions Ltd (AS) conducted an archaeological desk-based assessment of land at Dumpling Green, Dereham, Norfolk (NGR TG0014 1164). The assessment was commissioned by Hopkins Homes Ltd. The site is proposed for residential development, and an archaeological desk-based assessment is required by the local planning authority prior to the submission/determination of a planning application for the proposed development. A possible Bronze Age burnt mound is located c.350m east of the site (NHER 15179). Dereham is probably located on, or close to, a Roman Road linking the Fen Causeway, near Downham Market (NHER 2796), with the Roman town of Brampton. The medieval moated site 'The Oven' is situated c.350m to the east (NHER 19013), and two other possible medieval moated sites are located within half a kilometre of the assessment site (NHER 3068 and 36393). Medieval tile has been found c.350m to the east (NHER 15179). The late 18th century Green Farmhouse is a Grade 2 Listed Building whose property borders the north-west corner of the site. The map regression shows no buildings or occupation evidence on the assessment site, but indicates some changes in field layouts. In the post-medieval period the site appears to have generally retained its rural character although there has been residential development immediately to the north and west. |
