Abstract: |
Fisher German LLP are collecting baseline information in support of a planning application for the construction of an irrigation reservoir for arable farming use on land at Wallington Hall, Lynn Road, South Runcton, Norfolk. South Runcton lies on the fen-edge which was the focus of activity in the prehistoric and Roman period, and the proposed development area (PDA) is located adjacent to a number of gravel pits where significant quantities of prehistoric and Roman pottery were discovered in the mid 20th century. The Norfolk County Council Historic Environment Service (NCC HES) requested that a Programme of Archaeological Works (PoAW) was undertaken on the site. Albion Archaeology was commissioned to carry out the first phase of fieldworks that took a form of an archaeological trial trench evaluation. The results of this work will be assessed by the HES to make an informed and reasonable decision whether further investigations are necessary. The trial trench evaluation has been successful in characterising the archaeological potential of the proposed development area. The encountered sub-surface remains were very disturbed and the characteristic of the findings is uncertain. The features may be interpreted as either undated linear ditches or elongated tree throws with the latter interpretation being more likely. Therefore, the significance of these remains is considered to be low or very low, and they have little further potential for addressing research objectives in the area. |
