Abstract: |
The archaeological evaluation at Poppyfields Drive Snettisham was carried out following a program of Geophysical Survey that identified buried anomalies such as ditches, pits and other features. The evaluation revealed several ditches and pit features of probable Roman date and has identified a concentration of archaeological remains likely relating to a previously known extensive Roman settlement and industrial site close to the south of the proposed development area. Pottery found on the site is dated to the mid 2nd to early 3rd century AD Roman period and is of mostly locally-produced coarse wares but also includes fragments of imported Gaulish and other fine ware. Inclusions in the pottery fabric of metalworking debris and vitrified slag sugests the pottery found on the site may have had an association with the site to the south of Poppyfields Drive, investigated in 1998, where evidence of metalworking and other industrial processes were recorded |
