Bowthorpe Tower Growth Scheme, Norfolk – WAT-06660

Between 15-16th May, 5-6th June 2018, 3rd and 14-19th January 2019 Oxford Archaeology (OA) carried out archaeological monitoring at Bowthorpe Tower Growth Scheme, Norfolk - WAT 06660. The monitoring was carried out on two separate sections of undeveloped agricultural land on the route of a new Anglian Water pipeline. The first section subject to monitoring lay on undeveloped marsh land upon the floodplain of the River Yare, that looped around the site of the deserted medieval settlement of Bowthorpe. The second section lay on undeveloped farmland either side of New Road, to the north of the river and west of the historic settlement. No archaeological features were observed or any artefacts were recovered from the pipeline cutting.
