Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was conducted on two areas for Anglian Water Services during the installation of a new discharge main to upgrade the sewerage system at Neatishead, Norfolk. Area 2 was the only part of the monitored pipe-trench excavations to reveal any archaeological evidence, and this was limited. One sherd of post-medieval pottery was retrieved from spoil, and a small concentration of burnt flint was found on the surface of the field. The burnt flint spread may be evidence of prehistoric activity in the area, but this is not certain. The lack of archaeological remains in Area 1 is not considered unusual, as roadways rarely contain archaeological features. Although churches in Norfolk are often associated with Late Saxon/early medieval estate centres, providing a possible context for the presence of archaeological evidence in the area of the road adjacent to St Peter's, map evidence suggests that the road may not be of any significant age. Further, the results of the watching brief in Area 1 suggest that the churchyard never extended as far west as the line of the pipe trench. |
