Abstract: |
A programme of archaeological mitigation - Phase 1 evaluation by trial trenching was carried out at 'Land to the Rear of All Saints' Church, Weston Longville, Norfolk' prior to a proposed extension to the existing cemetery and residential development of the site and to aid decisions regarding further mitigation. Very few archaeological remains were encountered. A small probable pit in Trench 1 produced a sherd of possible Early Neolithic pottery and post-dates a feature of unknown function. A further pit-like feature was present in Trench 1 though produced no finds. A fragment slag-like material was recovered through metal-detecting close to Trench 1 indicating metal-working debris in the vicinity of the site though a date was not established. A linear feature of unknown date or function was present in Trench 4 and a linear feature probably formed through 'natural' processes was present in Trench 7. No features were present in trenches 2, 3, 5 or 6. Finds were very sparse. A piece of 18th/19th century farm machinery was recovered through metal-detecting close to Trench 5. |
