Abstract: |
The results of an evaluation by trial trench of the rear garden area of Moodie Cottage, Beacon Hill Road, Burnham Market, Norfolk. The proposed development is for a single residential dwelling within a plot of c. 420m2, to be created from the current rear garden of Moodie Cottage. The site is close to historic core of Burnham Market and in close proximity to the ruined medieval church of St Ethelbert. Most significantly, this project has the potential to provide additional evidence relating to the presence of multiple periods of past human activity in the immediate vicinity of the site. A single archaeologically significant feature was encountered which has been interpreted as a medieval boundary ditch of 13th to 14th century date, which included some evidence for midden waste disposal in the form of butchered animal bone and a small quantity of pottery sherds. Two abraded sherds of Thetford-type ware were collected, which provide limited evidence for Late Saxon activity in the vicinity of the site. Evidence of 18th to 20th century household waste dumping was encountered within the garden soil; finds collected from this soil include an 18th century toy cannon and the base of a Keiller marmalade jar dated 1862. |
