Abstract: |
Detailed gradiometer survey, fieldwalking and metal detecting were undertaken over the area of a proposed new grain store on land at Manor Farm, Cantley, Norfolk. The site lies within an extensive cropmark complex that includes late prehistoric to Roman field systems, enclosures and settlements. Interpretation of the geophysical results is hindered by the significant magnetic disturbance affecting the southern half of the survey area, alongside the existing grain drying facility, access roads and reinforced concrete surfaces. However, a possible small enclosure with internal features can be distinguished in the east of the survey area and other hints of linear features. A faint suggestion of ridge and furrow cultivation can also be discerned in the northern half. Fieldwalking retrieved a sparse scatter of finds ranging in date from Anglo-Saxon and medieval to the early modern period. However, conditions for survey were not ideal and this may under-represent the true density. Metal detecting identified only a scatter of modern iron material. |
