Abstract: |
NPS Archaeology was commissioned by Saffron Housing Trust Ltd to carry out an archaeological strip, map and sample excavation ahead of residential development in the Norfolk village of Dickleburgh. A geophysical survey undertaken in 2011, recorded magnetic anomalies of likely archaeological origin in the southeast corner of the site. The SMS excavation took place in 2016 to examine the magnetic anomalies and mitigate any potential disturbance to buried archaeological deposits. The excavation revealed features, mostly pits, of early-late post-medieval date. The earliest features were two pits, probably dating to the 16th century or slightly earlier, containing domestic debris perhaps originating from dwellings on Norwich Road to the east. Five extensive clay extraction pits were of a later date. A large, broadly rectangular extraction pit probably dated to the 17th century, and by the 18th century this had largely been infilled. |
