Abstract: |
In November and December 2010, Archaeological Solutions Ltd (AS) carried out an archaeological evaluation on land west of 36 Smallholdings Road, Clenchwarton, Norfolk (NGR TF 5886 1993). The evaluation was conducted in compliance with a planning condition attached to planning approval for the proposed construction of affordable housing (Borough of Kings Lynn and West Norfolk Council Planning Ref. 07/02132/FM). The evaluation revealed archaeological features in each of the six trenches. A range of features were present a gully, ditches, large shallow pits or depressions, pits, channels and linears. The ditches in Trenches 1, 3, 4 and 6 were either parallel or perpendicular. The features were consistently dated to the medieval period (principally 12th - 14th century). A large volume of pottery was recovered from the features, and Pit F1045 (Tr.5) contained the latest assemblage (mid 14th - 15th century). The presence of a homogenous group of medieval bricks, notably in Pit F1045, strongly suggests the resence of an early 14th to 15th century building including at least a brick-built component (i.e. chimney stack) in the close vicinity of the site. The archaeological features and finds were consistent with those associated with a medieval settlement. Medieval activity is well attested in the surrounding area. This site may represent outlying occupation to the deserted medieval village (HER 2192) known to the east. |
