Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was conducted for Crisp Malting Group Ltd ahead of the construction of a new lorry park and surface water infiltration pond. This evaluation produced limited archaeological evidence of prehistoric activity in the form of three pits. The fills of these small pits contained evidence of burning and are of a type that is common throughout Norfolk. The site divides into two land-use types during the medieval and post-medieval periods; the southern field for arable land-use and the northern meadow/wetland type. The interface between these two types can be seen in Trenches 1 and 7 where the ground level dives down. Ditch [7] may once have defined the boundary between the two land-use types. The lack of subsoil in the arable area argues against the presence of medieval openfield-type agriculture, which is the normal practise in North Norfolk in the medieval to post-medieval periods. |
