Abstract: |
During August 2013 Archaeological Solutions (AS) carried out an archaeological desk-based assessment of land at South Bradwell, Great Yarmouth, Norfolk (NGR TG 5073 0302). The assessment was required in advance of the submission/determination of a planning application for residential development by Persimmons Homes (Anglia) Ltd and was undertaken based on advice from Norfolk County Council Historic Environment Service. Cropmarks of a probable Bronze Age ring ditch are located on the southern part of site. A geophysical survey identified a second possible ring ditch or other archaeological feature to the north-west and large groups of possible pits are present mainly to the north and south. Fieldwalking of the site recovered a small amount of prehistoric flints and medieval pottery Cropmarks of a possible Roman road or boundary run east-west across the site and other cropmarks of possible late prehistoric or Romano-British enclosures, fields or tracks extend on to the site. A geophysical survey identified a group of possible intercutting archaeological features on the north-west area of the site. The geophysical survey and the historic maps indicate the presence of post-medieval field boundaries. Cropmarks thought to be of postmedieval fields adjacent to the assessment site may run onto it. A WWII high frequency direction finding station was located on the assessment site astride Clay Lane. |
