Abstract: |
In May 2011, Archaeological Solutions Ltd (AS) carried out an archaeological desk-based assessment on land at Hall Farm, Stanfield Road, Wymondham, Norfolk (NGR TG 1369 0028). The assessment was carried out in accordance with a brief issued by Norfolk County Council Historic Environment Service (NCC HES) (Ken Hamilton, dated 13/04/2011), and a specification compiled by AS (dated 18/04/2011). The 1882 OS map identifies Hall Farm as Stanfield Green suggesting that it is of medieval origin. A putative curvilinear cropmark has been identified immediately to the south and may be associated with the green (NHER 53328), and a possible cropmark on a 1988 aerial photograph may relate to this feature. A scatter of multi-period artefacts, including Saxon and medieval metal work and pottery, has been recovered from the fields to the east and north-east of the assessment site (NHER 29341, 55433 and 54963). Parallel line cropmarks on the assessment site are almost certainly post-medieval land divisions, as the most westerly one corresponds with a field boundary shown on the 1882 OS map (NHER 53327). Two possible linear boundaries and a small enclosure to the south of Hall Farm are probably associated with the post-medieval farm (NHER 53328). The Wymondham to Forncett railway line ran east-west across the assessment site (NHER 13580). It closed in 1951. |
