Abstract: |
In January 2018 Archaeological Solutions (AS) carried out an archaeological evaluation on land at Phase 3 Land at Wheatcroft Farm, Bradwell, Norfolk (NGR TG 5052 0310; Figs. 1 - 2). The evaluation was required to provide the requirement for archaeological mitigatory work, to commence with informative trial trenching. It was required by the LPA, as advised by Norfolk Historic Environment Service, in order to identify any archaeological remains for which further mitigation may be required as the first stage of the requirements of a programme of archaeological work which is required in association with the development. The latter is a residential development (Phase 3) (Great Yarmouth Borough Council Planning Ref. 06/13/0652/O). Features were present in each trench except 1, 7 and 12. The number of features varied from 1 (Trench 19) - 11 (Trench 20), with the average number being 4 - 6. The range of features comprised pits, ditches and ditch terminals. Some of the latter may represent pits rather than terminals. The features were comparable i.e. their fills were similar and they rarely contained finds. Also the features were located below Subsoil L4001 and cut the natural. The noteworthy features were Pit F4004 (Trench 2) and Ditch Terminal F4088 (Trench 15) which contained finds (CBM and animal bone respectively); the curvilinear ditch, F4050, in Trench 8; and the parallel ditches, F4080 and F4082, in Trench 9. The latter are visible as cropmarks and represent a droveway. The correlation between the cropmark data and the archaeological features was patchy with few features evident. Only Ditch F4048 (Trench 8), and Ditches F4080 and F4082 (Trench 9) correlate with the cropmark evidence. |
