Abstract: |
In September 2010, Archaeological Solutions Ltd (AS) conducted an archaeological evaluation at 2 Church Lane, Titchwell, Norfolk (NGR TF 7621 4377). The evaluation was conducted in compliance with a planning condition attached to planning approval for the proposed construction of three residential dwellings (Borough of Kings Lynn and West Norfolk Council Planning Ref. 10/00125/F). Saxon and medieval remains were anticipated. Extensive cropmark evidence immediately across Church Lane to the east and south-east may represent Saxon features. They include over 30 pits some possibly representing grubenhauser, and a rectilinear enclosure (NHER 26745). The church of St Mary the Virgin to the north of the site is mentioned in Domesday Book and the round tower dates to the late 11th or 12th centuries (CHER 1389). Trenches 1 and 2 both contained archaeological features, and the features were possibly more dense towards Church Lane. The features comprised pits (Tr.1 F1017 and F1019, Tr.2 F1003 and F1007), postholes (Tr.2 F1009, F1011 and F1013) and a ditch terminal (Tr.2 F1015). Pits F1003 and F1007 (Tr.2) and Ditch F1015 (Tr.2) may date to the medieval period (11th- 12th century), but the dating evidence is tentative being based on three abraded sherds which may be residual. |
