Abstract: |
NPS Archaeology was commissioned by Anglian Water (Norwich) to carry out archaeological monitoring of groundworks associated with installation of a new water main between Fakenham Road, Sparham, and Reepham town centre (TG 07846 19115-TG 09930 22866). The 5km-long water main required archaeological monitoring along its entire length-apart from stretches of the route in the road/highway and parts opened by mechanical trencher-because of find spots of historical artefacts in surrounding fields, the presence of cropmarks of potential archaeological features, and a possible Roman road. The monitoring recorded no archaeological remains and did not retrieve any artefacts. The negative results were primarily because of the small proportion of the pipe route that it was possible to monitor effectively due to the mechanical trenching, and only small stretches of open-cut trench and a number of directional-drill pits were observed. |
