Abstract: |
In May 2015 Archaeological Solutions Ltd (AS) carried out an archaeological evaluation on land at Ploughboy lane, Saham Hills, Norfolk IP25 7JN (NGR TF 9054 0350). Norfolk County Council Historic Environment Team (NCC HES) advised the Local Planning Authority (LPA) that they required a trial trench evaluation of the site to be carried out to provide further information to be submitted in association with the planning application for a proposed residential development. The purpose of the evaluation was to identify the presence of any archaeological remains for which further mitigation may be required. Deep deposits of made ground were recorded in all of the trenches and the site was evidently truncated. Intact stratigraphy (topsoil, subsoil and natural) was only preserved at the south-western end of Trench 3. The metal detecting identified an abundance of modern metalwork. Archaeological features, if present, are likely to have been removed in the past. No residual finds were found. Pit F1008 in Trench 1 contained two post-medieval (late 16th / 17th - 18th century) pottery sherds. The feature was shallow (0.08m) and only partially revealed. Linear feature F1006 was present in Trenches 2 and 3. It appeared to have silted naturally and contained no finds. Possibly it was a former water channel. |
