Abstract: |
Between the 30th of September and the 7th of October 2014, Archaeological Solutions Ltd (AS) conducted an archaeological excavation at Watton Green, Watton, Norfolk (Phase 4). The excavation was undertaken in compliance with a planning condition attached to planning permission for the construction of 18 dwellings (Breckland Council Ref. 3PL/2014/0330/F), and was preceded by an archaeological trial trench evaluation, also conducted by AS (dated 26/08/2014). The project revealed elements of a ditched middle Iron Age trackway/ droveway running north to south across the site. An arrangement of Gullies forming the south of this 'system' may have served to 'funnel' livestock, thus controlling access to the trackway/ droveway. One Bronze Age and one possible Bronze Age pit were also encountered, while earlier Neolithic material (pottery and struck flint) was present in the fill of a ?tree hollow. A number of undated features were also recorded. |
