Abstract: |
Watching brief was undertaken during overburden stripping and gravel extraction in Phases 1 and 2 of works at the Brandon Lignacite Quarry, Weeting with Broomhill, Norfolk. Monitoring did not identify widespread remains beneath the extensive and deep peat cover, although early stages of work were hampered by high groundwater levels and conditions for identification were not ideal. Significant remains of Neolithic date were noted, however, on the southern margins of the quarry area including evidence for both flint tool production and tool use and the site of a possible burnt mound. |
