Abstract:
NPS Archaeology was commissioned by Alan Irvine, on behalf of his client, to carry out an archaeological evaluation ahead of development of a plot of land south of Eagle Road, Erpingham, Norfolk (TG 1920 3183). The evaluation consisted of five trenches, four of which contained buried archaeological remains. These included four gullys of probable Late Saxon date, a pit of possible Neolithic date, and a number of pits of uncertain date. The probable Late Saxon gullys included three on parallel east-west alignments and one on a north-south alignment, suggesting they were parts of a structured land division. A small pit containing a large amount of fire-cracked and -shattered stones and a worked flint of possible Early Neolithic date was recorded. There was no evidence around the pit to suggest that the stones had resulted from an in situ fire, and it is likely therefore that they were deposited into the pit from elsewhere. Prehistoric burnt mounds have been recorded to the west of the village close to Scarrow Beck, so it is possible that the burnt stones in this evaluation are the result of comparable processes or from a similar mound in the vicinity of the site. The undated pits, one of which contained the bones of a juvenile pig, may have been associated with former farm buildings, which occupied the southwest corner of the site until the later 19th century.
