Abstract: |
The results of archaeological mitigation work required during the initial development of a campsite on land adjacent to Keepers Cottage, Haveringland, Norfolk. The development site lies c. 350m north-west of the site of Haveringland Hall (NHER7518), a grand house Italianate style built c. 1840 and demolished in 1947, and immediately north-east of Keepers Cottage. Most significantly, the north-eastern area of the campsite development is occupied by the rectangular earthworks of a moated site of possible 13th or 14th century date with an associated pond (NHER 7521). The trench on the footprint of the new Swimming Pond revealed saturated sands and gravels at c. 0.5m below the current ground level. A very shallow feature was identified, which may once have served as a minor drainage feature emptying into the moat. In the area of the Biodigester, evidence for two small post-holes of uncertain date were revealed. At the eastern end of the foul-pipe trench a cluster of three shallow pits were investigated, which contained only sparse residual evidence of localised burning in the form of charcoal flecks, burnt clay flecks and small number of burnt flints. A very small quantity of finds were collected from the subsoil, including abraded medieval brick fragments and a single sherd of of Grimston-type ware of 13th to 14th century date. A second sherd of unabraded Grimston-type ware was collected from a molehill at the eastern end of the enclosed moated site. |
