Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was conducted for the Environment, Transport and Development department of Norfolk County Council ahead of a proposed new drainage scheme, designed to relieve frequent flooding of part of the B1108. The project was undertaken prior to a final decision on the route of the drainage scheme. The drainage would impact upon part of a large earthwork complex on the edge of Kimberley Park. Three trenches were excavated during the evaluation and located within the line of the proposed drainage scheme. The central trench revealed that one of the earthworks located in the park represented an east-west orientated ditch of medieval date. A further medieval ditch, a pit of Early Neolithic date, and a gully of possible Neolithic date were also found in the eastern trench. Natural features were observed in the western trench. |
