Abstract: |
NPS Archaeology was commissioned by Broadland Housing Group to carry out an archaeological evaluation requested by Norfolk Historic Environment Service, ahead of a plan to develop an area of land to the south of Binham, Norfolk for residential purposes (TF 9819 3940). Eight trenches were excavated, six of which contained archaeological evidence of past human activity. With few exceptions, the archaeological features were shallow remnants of their original forms. One undated grave was identified and five undated field boundary ditches were recorded. The grave was situated away from other archaeological features, and was not excavated. It cannot be stated that the ditches are contemporary or related to one another, but it is feasible that they describe small land parcels that take their alignment from Walsingham Road. Eight pits were excavated. One contained residual prehistoric worked flint and another contained modern materials. The other features did not produce any artefacts and could not be dated. The pits are broadly interpreted as quarry pits for extracting clay. Artefacts recovered by metal-detecting from unstratified locations around the evaluation site consisted of personal possessions, coins and weights, which collectively indicate limited medieval and post-medieval activity on or near the site. |
