Land at Old Buckenham Norfolk Geophysical Survey Land at Old Buckenham Norfolk Geophysical Survey Report no. 2646 September 2014 Client: NPS Archaeology Archaeological Services WYAS Report No. 2646 Land at Old Buckenham, Norfolk Land at Old Buckenham Norfolk Geophysical Survey Summary A geophysical (magnetometer) survey covering approximately 4.4 hectares was carried out on land at Old Buckenham, to provide further information on the archaeological resource of the site prior to its proposed development. Faint linear anomalies indicative of soil filled ditches forming a series of rectilinear enclosures of unknown date have been identified covering most of the site. Discrete anomalies within some of the enclosures are also considered to be of archaeological significance. On the basis of the survey the site is considered to be of moderate to high archaeological potential.

The work was undertaken in accordance with the Heritage Statement Brief (Norfolk County Council 2014), with a Project Design (Harrison 2014) supplied to and approved by the Client, with guidance contained within the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF 2012) and in line with current best practice (David et al. 2008). The survey was carried out on August 26th and August 27th 2014. Site location, topography and land-use The proposed development area (PDA) is located on the northern periphery of Old Buckenham, centred at TM 066 919, approximately 4km south of Attleborough and 16km south-west of Norwich. The site comprises a broadly rectangular block of agricultural land forming the development area plus a linear strip to the west which will afford access to the main site from the B1077, Attleborough Road. In total an area of approximately 4.4 hectares was surveyed. The site is bound to the south by Abbey Road and Old Buckenham High School and to the west by Old Buckenham Primary School. Open fields extend to the north. The site is relatively flat at about 40m above Ordnance Datum (aOD). Soils and geology The underlying bedrock comprises Lewes Nodular Chalk, Seaford Chalk, Newhaven Chalk and Culver Chalk formations, overlain by superficial deposits of Lowestoft Formation diamicton (British Geological Survey 2014). The soils in this area are classified in the Beccles 1 association, characterised as slowly permeable, seasonally waterlogged loams over clays (Soil Survey of England and Wales 1983). 2 Archaeological Background At the time of writing no archaeological background was known although it is understood that there are no known features within the PDA. 3 Aims, Methodology and Presentation The main aim of the geophysical survey was to provide sufficient information to enable an assessment to be made of the impact of potential sub-surface archaeological remains and for 1 Archaeological Services WYAS Report No. 2646 Land at Old Buckenham, Norfolk further evaluation or mitigation proposals, if appropriate, to be recommended. To achieve this aim a magnetometer survey covering all of the PDA was undertaken. The general objectives of the geophysical survey were: • to provide information about the nature and possible interpretation of any magnetic anomalies identified; • to therefore determine the presence/absence and extent of any buried archaeological features; and • to prepare a report summarising the results of the survey. Magnetometer survey The site grid was laid out using a Trimble VRS differential Global Positioning System (Trimble 5800 model). Bartington Grad601 magnetic gradiometers were used during the survey, taking readings at 0.25m intervals on zig-zag traverses 1m apart within 30m by 30m grids, so that 3600 readings were recorded in each grid. These readings were stored in the memory of the instrument and later downloaded to computer for processing and interpretation. Geoplot 3 (Geoscan Research) software was used to process and present the data. Further details are given in Appendix 1. Reporting A general site location plan, incorporating the 1:50000 Ordnance Survey (OS) mapping, is shown in Figure 1. Figure 2 is a large scale (1:2000) location plan displaying the processed magnetic data. Figure 3 is an interpretation of all the anomalies identified by the survey. Figure 4 shows the site grid and the location of the repeat grids and plates. Large scale (1:1000) plots of the data in greyscale and XY trace plot formats together with interpretation graphics at the same scale are presented in figures 5 to 10 inclusive. Further technical information on the equipment used, data processing and survey methodologies are given in Appendix 1and Appendix 2. Trace plots of the ‘raw’ data and data repeatability plots are included in Appendix 3 and Appendix 4 respectively. Appendix 5 describes the composition and location of the site archive. Appendix 6 is a copy of the completed OASIS form. The survey methodology, report and any recommendations comply with the Project Design (Harrison 2014) and guidelines outlined by English Heritage (David et al. 2008), the Institute for Archaeologists (IfA 2013) and Norfolk County Council. All figures reproduced from Ordnance Survey (OS) mapping are with the permission of the controller of Her Majesty’s Stationery Office ( Crown copyright). The figures in this report have been produced following analysis of the data in ‘raw’ and processed formats and over a range of different display levels. All figures are presented to 2 Archaeological Services WYAS Report No. 2646 Land at Old Buckenham, Norfolk most suitably display and interpret the data from this site based on the experience and knowledge of Archaeological Services staff. 4 Results and Discussion Summary The most noticeable characteristic of the data is the very ‘flat’ magnetic background as evidenced

    6 Oakland Mews, Strumpshaw, NR13 4FP Property Features Spacious Semi-Detached House Four Double Bedrooms Open plan Kitchen/Dining/Living Room Utility Room and Ground Floor Cloakroom En-suite Shower Room and Family Bathroom Generous Westerly Facing Rear Garden EPC Rating A DESCRIPTION 6 Oakland Mews was built in 2019 to a very high standard by reputable local builder WM Tubby Ltd and forms part of a small development of executive family homes on the edge of the village. This property is positioned on a generous corner plot with a westerly facing rear garden and a lovely elevated view towards open countryside from the spacious first floor landing/seating area with full height glazing. The current owners have carried out a number of improvements including the installation of engineered oak flooring on the ground and first floors, a wood burner in the living area, additional kitchen storage cupboards to the Mulberry kitchen, a water softener, solar panels and a solar battery. There is also the addition of a remote controlled sun awning above the doors from the main living area. The house has the benefit of a gas-fired central heating system with underfloor heating to the ground floor and radiators on the first floor, with double glazed windows and doors throughout. There is Cat 5 wiring throughout. The energy efficiency of this home is reflected in the very high EPC rating. Although the main living space is open plan, the property was cleverly designed to allow for partitioning if an owner requires separate rooms. LOCATION Strumpshaw is a very popular village around 10 miles east of Norwich city centre.

The Wherry Lines head east out of Norwich along the river valleys of The Broads to the coastal towns of Great Yarmouth and Lowestoft. Most of the walks are circular, although some do go from station to station. All the walks are described including details such as distances, path surfaces and facilities available. Please respect natural habitats as you walk. Stay on waymarked paths and take litter home. Routes may pass through areas grazed by livestock – please visit our website below for advice on this. Remember that depending on the season you may encounter wet and muddy conditions or long vegetation so dress accordingly.
