Abstract: |
In May 2014 Archaeological Solutions Ltd (AS) carried out an archaeological evaluation at South Bradwell, Great Yarmouth, Norfolk NGR TG 5073 0302; Figs.1 - 2). The evaluation was commissioned by Persimmons Homes (Anglia) Ltd. and was undertaken in advance of the proposed construction of a residential development. The evaluation is required to comply with a planning condition (Great Yarmouth District Council, Planning Ref. 06/13/0652/O), which requires a programme of archaeological work, based on advice from Norfolk County Council Historic Environment Service. The majority of archaeological features recorded during the evaluation were found within the northern half of the site. The range of features included pits, gullies and ditches with the latter being the most common. Uncommonly a kiln (F1111 and F1114) was recorded in Trench 17. Consistent with the field walking finds struck flint of Neolithic date was found in several features in Trenches 9, 15 and 16. These trenches are adjacent, and the lithic technology is consistent suggesting homogeneity. Dating evidence was not common but pottery dating to the late Saxon and medieval period was consistently found. The trial trenching correlated with the results of the geophysical survey with the majority of features located in the northern sector of the site. The geophysical survey also recorded the continuation of ditches between Trenches 8 and 9, and F1026 (Tr.2) may equate to the ring ditch recorded during the geophysical survey. |
