Abstract: |
In August 2012 Archaeological Solutions Limited (AS) carried out an archaeological trial trench evaluation on land at Sunnymead, Whiteway Road, Burnham Market, Norfolk (NGR TF 8235 4189; Figs. 1-2). The evaluation was required to accompany a planning application to construct a residential development on the site (King's Lynn and West Norfolk Council). A range of archaeological features were recorded during the evaluation: 34 ditches, 6 gullies, 29 pits and 6 postholes. All the trenches, except Trench 1 contained archaeological features. The number of features varied from 1 - 5 (Trs. 2 - 8 and 11), 6 - 10 (Trs. 9 and 11-12 and 14) and more than 10 (Trs. 10 and 13). The dated features were predominantly medieval (11th - 12th/13th century) and were located mostly in the southern half of the site with the largest number occurring in Trs. 9 (5), 10 (10) and 13 (6). Residual struck flint was found dating from the earlier Neolithic. Twenty two flakes (58g) were recovered from Ditches F1155 and F1155/F1157 suggesting the possible presence of limited in situ core reduction in the close vicinity. |
