Summary
Fieldwalking in 2003 recovered concentrations of medieval pottery sherds and metal working debris. Excavation on the site revealed a number of medieval features. These included a pit which is thought to have been part of a kiln, oven or corn dryer, as well as a later domed structure on the same site. These sat within a ditched enclosure, and a number of other enclosures, ditches and a series of large pits or ponds were also noted nearby.

March - August 2003. Excavation. Bacton to King's Lynn pipeline.
Medieval features were revealed during excavation, including a short ditch, a large, ovoid pit which may be formed part of a kiln or oven, and a gully. A domed structure with an oval ground plan was constructed on virtually the same site as the phase 1 oven. The domed structure is described as a kiln/oven/corn dryer and it was built within a ditched enclosure. Also other enclosures, ditches and a series of large pits or ponds.
