Abstract: |
In June 2014 Archaeological Solutions (AS) carried out an archaeological trial trench evaluation at Tapping House, 38A Common Road, Snettisham, Norfolk (NGR TF 6755 3365). The evaluation was undertaken in compliance with a planning condition attached to planning permission for the demolition of the existing hospice buildings and the construction of nine detached dwellings. The parish is rich in finds dating between the prehistoric and medieval periods. In particular cropmark evidence indicates an extensive area of Late Iron Age to Romano-British settlement to the south and east of the development site. Cropmarks representing a series of probable Roman period linear ditches, possibly defining field boundaries, roads or trackways, are also recorded on aerial photographs in the vicinity of the site, but a watching brief centred on 80m to the south, proved negative for archaeological features, and recovered one post medieval and one Roman pottery sherd (NHER 18236). The site thus had the potential for remains of Iron Age / Romano-British date in particular. In the event an undated ditch, F1004, was revealed in the far eastern edge of the site (Trench 6). It contained animal bone and mineralised plant matter. Examination of the latter indicated a likely post-medieval date for Ditch F1004. |
