Abstract: |
Between March and May 2008 and during September 2010, Archaeological Solutions Ltd (AS) carried out an archaeological excavation on land at The Old Bell, Marham, Norfolk. Post-excavation analysis has identified five phases of activity at this site, with the earliest occurring in the mid Saxon period. This period was represented by a SFB in the north-western corner of the site. Occupation activity continued in the late Saxon period as is evidenced by a further possible SFB and a possible cellared-building. The third identifiable phase represents a period of rapid change within the area of the site and begins with the construction of an enclosure ditch which may relate to a dwelling of elevated, possibly thegnly, status. This enclosure appears to be modified at a later date and the culmination of activity in the Saxo- Norman period is the division of the western part of the site into apparent roadside plots. Activity continues in the medieval and post-medieval periods but for the most part, although domestic, is not directly indicative of occupation. |
