Abstract: |
In July 2009 Archaeological Solutions Ltd (AS) undertook archaeological monitoring and recording of land at Honeypots Quarry, Shropham, Norfolk (NGR TL 9820 9470). The monitoring was undertaken during topsoil stripping for the extension to the quarry. Numerous previous phases of archaeological investigation have been undertaken. The current phase of monitoring (Quarry Phase 3) reveales eight undated pits, four pits with early Bronze Age pottery, two pits with Bronze Age/Iron Age pottery, two pits with early Iron Age pottery and a Roman ditch. The latter contained a nearly complete Roman pottery vessel of 3rd-4th century AD date. The Bronze Age and Iron Age features also contained struck and burnt flint. The features were predominantly pits, and loose cluseters were identified, The undated pits are likely prehistoric. |
