1991 - 1992. Excavation.
Work undertaken by NAU in advance of gravel extraction. Contexts 1317-
Metal detecting of the topsoil during its removal resulted in the recovery of 500 metal objects, of which 350 are coins ranging date from the 1st century BC to the medieval period. 300 of those coins are Roman, primarily 2nd to 4th century AD.

Excavation revealed three Romano-British post-built structures, rubbish pits, post holes, and a series of linear features defining enclosure boundaries and access routes as well as a small graveyard. Three features clustered in the extreme north of the site contained ash and iron slag, indicating smithing activity. An oven was located to the northeast of the main enclosure, gravel extraction pits were identified near the east side of the road, and a plank-lined pit was located in the southwest corner of the main square enclosure. Twenty-one graves were recorded in the northeast of the site, but only three of these were excavated. However, these were excavated in 1997 due to expansion of the quarrying area (see discussion below). Two late 2nd to late 3rd century cremations, both contained within pottery vessels, were recorded in the marshy area in the northwest of the site.

Pre-Roman finds include a small assemblage of 178 prehistoric worked flints. Recognisable tools were limited to 1 Mesolithic tranchet axe and 1 microlith and 2 Neolithic axes (one polished) and 1 polished knife. The bulk of the assemblage was not closely datable, the majority of the pieces being undiagnostic waste flakes (the notable exceptions being several cores and a 10 scrapers). A small quantity of Beaker pottery and two Iron Age coins were also recovered from unstratified contexts. Pre-Roman features were restricted to a small number of dispersed Iron Age pits containing small amounts of Iron Age pottery.

Later features include an Early Saxon sunken-featured building and three other Early Saxon post hole buildings, an area of Middle Saxon ironworking, and late medieval field boundaries.

1995-2002. Watching Brief by NAU.
Features encountered during a watching brief east of the area excavated in 1991-92 consisted of 47 linear features, 15 pits, and 16 post holes. The majority of these were located within the areas monitored in 1995 and 1996, located immediately adjacent to the 1991-92 excavations. Features and finds spanned the Prehistoric to the post medieval period. These include 2 Neolithic pits, a ditch containing 38 sherds of transitional Iron Age/Romano-British pottery, a Roman votive pit, a dispersed Roman coin hoard, three Early and Middle Saxon finds, and post medieval ditches (one containing a group of 9 buckles). One undated inhumation was also recorded in 1996. See individual discussion of finds from 1995, 1996, and 2000 below.
See published monograph (S1) and publication draft (S26) for further details.
H. Hamilton (NLA), 29 January 2008.

June 1995. Watching Brief by NAU.
A circular pit was uncovered during monitoring of groundworks prior to gravel extraction. This feature was excavated and contained glass beads, a copper alloy key, a complete stone ring, a copper alloy torque, a copper alloy finger ring, and a smaller copper alloy ring. It has been interpreted as a votive deposit, possibly related to the god Mercury or to Jupiter (S2).
This votive pit was located immediately adjacent to the course of a small tributary to the River Wensum. A scatter of potboilers was also identified to the north of the votive pit, adjacent to the river channel (S1).
See published monograph (S1) for further details. See also short report (S2), publication draft (S26) and fieldwork notes (S44).
The associated archive has been deposited with the Norwich Castle Museum (NWHCM : 2017.21 and NWHCM : 2017.396).

1996. Watching Brief by NAU.
The river channel identified in 1995 was found to extend northwards across the area monitored in 1996. This channel may have existed in Roman times and possibly marked the eastern limit of Roman occupation as no datable Romano-British features were identified to the east of its bank. Other discoveries included two further prehistoric pits that contained pot boilers, a dispersed Roman coin hoard, and an undated crouched inhumation. The positioning of the burial suggests a prehistoric or Saxon date, most likely the latter. The coin hoard consisted of 46 heavily oxidised silver alloy coins, struck over a period of 70 years.
See published monograph (S1) and publication draft (S26) for further details.

1997. Excavation by NAU.
The area of inhumations identified in 1991-92 was re-machined and extended due to plans to expand quarrying. 65 additional graves were identified, bringing the total to 86. Three of these had been excavated in 1991-2, and an additional 68 were excavated in 1997, although ten of the graves identified in 1991-2 had not survived to 1997. The cemetery extends to the north and east, beyond the area of excavation, but was previously truncated to the north and west by a gravel pit dug in the late 1940s. This represents the largest known Roman cemetery in Norfolk.
See published monograph (S1) and publication draft (S26) for further details. The results of this work are also summarised in (S25).
