Abstract: |
A watching brief undertaken during groundworks at New Road, Shipdham, Norfolk monitored the excavation of foundation trenches for a single dwelling The development site lies immediately to the north of the Grade-I listed, All Saints Church, which is chiefly medieval in date. The graveyard of the church is adjacent to the proposed site. Other medieval artefacts have been found throughout the village and the surrounding area and evidence for Prehistoric and Saxon settlement has been excavated to the south of the development area. The watching brief revealed a sequence of undated and natural deposits as well as a wide pit cut possibly relating to quarrying activity. No finds were retrieved from either the deposits or the fill of the pit during the course of the watching brief. |
