Abstract: |
In June 2008, AS undertook archaeological monitoring and recording of land at Honeypots Quarry Extension, Shropham, Norfolk (NGR TM 9820 9470). The monitoring was undertaken during topsoil stripping for the extension to the quarry. Monitoring and recording was undertaken in Septemeber 2007 in Area 1, Area 2 and Subsoil Bund 2. Forty-two archaeolgical features comprising pits, postholes and two linear features were encountered. Two pits produced Beaker pottery and deliberate deposts of burnt material. Several other undated pits and postholes yielded similar deposits, and thus maybe contemporary, however, the adjacent excavation identified an increase in activity during the Iron Age and it is likely that some of the features here are also associated with this period of activity. Monitoring and recording undertaken during June 2008 revealed three pits, a tree hollow and a possible hearth. No datable material was recovered from these features. |
