Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was conducted for Anglian Water Services during the topsoil strip for easement associated with the installation of a new water main between Swanton Morley and East Dereham. The absence of archaeological features revealed by this project, despite its close proximity to the deserted medieval village of Hoe (adjacent to the west), is probably due to two factors. Firstly the easement strip only stripped the topsoil, leaving subsoil in place, potentially masking any remains. Secondly, the presence of this subsoil layer suggests that the site was located away from the settlement and was subject to intensive arable agriculture, which helped to form this subsoil layer in the medieval and post-medieval periods. |
