Abstract: |
In April 2015 Archaeological Solutions (AS) carried out an archaeological trial trench evaluation of land east of 8 Pine Cottages, Pigot Lane, Framingham Earl, Norfolk (NGR TG 2672 0291). It is proposed to construct a new hospice. Norfolk County Council Historic Environment Team (NCC HES) have advised the LPA that require a trial trench evaluation of the site to be carried out as a condition of planning approval((South Norfolk Planning Ref.2014/0432), in order to identify the presence of any archaeological remains for which further mitigation may be required. The trial trench evaluation revealed 19 features. The majority contained no finds and two contained modern CBM (Pit F1026 (Trench 4) and Pit F1012 (Trench 7). Most of the features were small discrete pits and post holes, and only two linears identified: Gully F1032 (Trench 2) and Ditch F1036 (Trench 6). The trial trench evaluation also identified extensive disturbance throughout the site caused principally by large tree roots, with large tree throw hollows visible within the present day ground surface. This disturbance was particularly prevalent in Trench 1, where a very large pine tree stumps were still visible. The majority of recorded features showed signs of modern root action disturbance and many were likely associated with former trees. The ditches identified as cropmarks were not apparent within any of the trial trenches (Trenches 2 - 6). The geophysical survey did not pick up the cropmark data, and the survey did not identify any features of clear archaeological origin. |
