Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation by trial trenching was conducted for NPS Group on behalf of Broadland District Council ahead of housing development works at Carrowbreck, Drayton High Road in Hellesdon, Norfolk. The evaluation consisted of four trenches measuring 15.00m long x 1.80m wide. Each trench contained archaeological remains and a total of 10 features were recorded. The features were all linear, the majority probably representing field boundary ditches. Based on dating evidence, two of the linear features could tentatively be of prehistoric origin, but most of the ditches cannot be dated. One feature-interpreted as a road-ran across two adjacent trenches. It is unclear whether this was an estate driveway or possibly the route of the original Drayton High Road. |
