An archaeological evaluation at Beccles Road, Loddon, Norfolk

On the 16th and 17th January 2012 OA East conducted an archaeological evaluation at a proposed housing development site (3.09ha) within the former Express Plastics Site, Beccles Road, Loddon (TM 365982). The evaluation comprised ten evaluation trenches spread across the northern and western parts of the proposed development area and located away from standing buildings. The results of the evaluation demonstrate that the site had been heavily truncated on the northern (and presumably eastern sides) and had been partly truncated and then landscaped along the western side, with more than 1.76m of made ground recorded in some places. No pre-modern archaeological features or artefacts were uncovered.
