Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was conducted for Youngs Homes ahead of proposed development on land off Wood View, Skeyton Road, North Walsham, Norfolk. A total of twelve evaluation trenches, each measuring 30 m by 1.8m were arrayed across the site which covered an area of c. 1.4 hectares. The evaluation recorded few features of archaeological interest. A total of six features were identified, including an undated ditch and two undated small pits or similar features, and a pit and two spreads containing artefacts dating them to the late 19th century. These features were all present in broadly the eastern side of the site. The ditch contained several pieces of burnt flint, the presence of which might hint as possible prehisotirc date for this feature. A small number of burnt flints,also possibly of prehistoric date were recovered from subsoil at the site. It is possible that the site occupies an area of former heath only improved relatively recently as agricultural land. |
