Full description
May-November 2004. Norfolk Rapid Coastal Zone Archaeological Survey.
Inter-tidal survey (Environmental Zone 2), Context 721:
Embedded in the estuarine mud on the western bank of the River Great Ouse.
Three rows of posts, one aligned roughly north to south with an east to west row located at the northern end and a second at the southern end.
They were the remains of a quay, revetment and/or jetties.
As noted in (S1), maps from 1767 and 1793 ((S2) and (S3)) show the settlement of North Lynn close by and they could have been with this village.
See assessment report (S4) for further details.
The associated archive has been deposited with the Norwich Castle Museum (NWHCM : 2017.421).
