Abstract
From December 1995 to May 1996, the Archaeological Field Unit of Cambridgeshire County Council carried out archaeological recording along the route of the Wereham Sewerage Scheme. The work was undertaken on behalf of the Norfolk Archaeological Unit, for Anglian Water.
Excavation of the pipeline easement adjacent to a medieval moated site (SM 13294, TF 687 006) revealed early medieval settlement remains. This was represented by a series of boundary ditches, several pits, and part of a post-built structure. These features, and an associated occupation layer, produced an assemblage of pottery which has been dated to the twelfth century.
Field-walking and observation of the stripped easement revealed mostly modern features and artefacts. The exception was the field immediately to the west of the moated site, where early medieval pottery was recovered.
