Abstract: |
Between the 22nd and the 30th of January 2018 Oxford Archaeology (OA East) carried out a trial trench evaluation at Laylands Farm, Foss Ditch Field, Hockwold cum Wilton, Norfolk (TL 7537 8768). A total of 11 trenches were excavated, targeting the location of a proposed agricultural reservoir. Two of the trenches, 2 and 6, revealed archaeological features. Trench 2 contained an east to west aligned ditch, from which one sherd of Romano-British fine greyware pottery was recovered. Trench 6 contained a tree throw feature from which an assemblage of 154 worked flints and five sherds of Early Neolithic pottery were recovered. The probable Roman ditch is likely to be associated with a previously recorded area of Roman settlement close to the site, whilst the Early Neolithic assemblage appears to attest to episodic activity on the site during this period. |
