Kelling Heath Holiday Park, Weybourne, Norfolk

On the 1st March 2016, OA East carried out an archaeological watching brief at Kelling Heath Holiday Park, Weybourne, Norfolk (TG 1171 4140). The monitoring was carried out following the stripping of topsoil prior to the construction of new caravan bases. All the caravan bases were shallow, measuring no more than 0.2m deep; no archaeological features were encountered. Several drain pipe trenches were also monitored; they measured up to 2m deep and cut through the topsoil and underlying geology. The only feature was a modern intrusion, which clearly cut through the topsoil.
Prior to this watching brief a level 1 earthwork survey had been carried out in October 2013 on the same block of land. A wall, probably dating to the post-medieval period or later was the only archaeological feature identified within the proposed development area.
