Abstract: |
The results of archaeological monitoring during the development of a replacement dwelling at Meadow Cottage, Langham Road, Field Dalling, Norfolk. The proposed development site is located close to St Andrew's Church within a likely historic core of settlement at Field Dalling. Surface finds of prehistoric, Roman, Saxon and medieval artefacts have been recorded within fields adjacent to Meadow Cottage and in the majority of fields surrounding the modern settlement. The raft footprint revealed a former north-south ditch, which is thought to be a former medieval boundary ditch, matching the alignment of the western boundary of the churchyard and mirroring the alignment of Langham Road. A small number pits were also recorded, which are suspected to represent medieval to early-post-medieval activity at the site. The pits indicate minor burning activity, and possible small scale extraction of chalk as a raw material. A post-medieval pit, flecked by brick pieces was identified to the east of the cottage. Noteworthy finds include a small assemblage of late prehistoric flints, a single piece of daub collected from one of the pits, a single abraded sherd of Romano-British pottery and a small fragment of a poorly preserved fragment of a silver object (such as a strap-end or hook-fastener). |
