Full description
May-November 2004. Norfolk Rapid Coastal Zone Archaeological Survey.
Inter-tidal survey (Environmental Zone 2), Context 695:
Located on the western bank of the River Great Ouse.
Two parallel post alignments orientated northwest to southeast, with another two orientated northeast to southwest. At least thirty posts were recorded.
As noted in (S1), maps from 1767 and 1793 ((S2) and (S3)) show the settlement of North Lynn close to the location of the post alignments and it is therefore possible that they were a quay/revetment and jetty associated with this village.
See assessment report (S4) for further details.
The associated archive has been deposited with the Norwich Castle Museum (NWHCM : 2017.421).
