Abstract: |
NPS Archaeology was commissioned by Orwell Housing Association to carry out an archaeological trial trench evaluation ahead of proposed new housing at Site 25, Beacon Park, Gorleston (TG 5130 0266). Site 25 was c. 7.4ha in size and located in an area of high archaeological potential, with recorded cropmarks of field boundaries and trackways of prehistoric to postmedieval date covering large areas to the south of Gorleston. Archaeological features were more densely present in the southern half of the site, with features including ditches and pits, and an almost equal number of features though to be naturally derived. A large east-west ditch present in three trenches correlated closely with a known cropmark (NHER 43593) that although poorly dated, might be of late Iron Age to Roman date. A circular cropmark recorded as a possible Bronze Age round barrow was found to be associated with a modern refuse pit. |
