Abstract: |
Full Planning Permission was granted in 2012 for 335 residential units together with associated access, car parking, open space and landscape provision on Land East of Brandon Road, Swaffham, Norfolk. In accordance with conditions attached to the full planning permission Pre-Construct Archaeological Services Ltd., (PCAS) were commissioned by Ecus Ltd, on behalf of Ben Bailey Homes, to undertake an initial scheme of archaeological monitoring and recording on the site in association with proposed service runs. The monitoring revealed a low level of archaeological features and suggests peripheral activity to settlement situated to the south and east. Dating was limited but indicates the focus of activity to be later Roman, possibly 4th century. These works add to and improve previous archaeological knowledge of the site namely in the identification of evidence for a possible high status building in the close vicinity. |
