Mayton Wood, Buxton with Lammas, Norfolk: A 'Strip, Map and Sample' Excavation

Abstract

Throughout March 2004 a ‘strip, map and sample’ excavation was undertaken at Mayton Wood, Buxton With Lammas, Norfolk (NGR: 624170 32144). A total of five linear features were recorded, four of which were related to each other and formed a northwest southeast route way. From one of these linears fragments of a Samian bowl were recovered suggesting a Romano British date for these features. Also recorded were twenty-seven shallow pits which contained significant amounts of charcoal and evidence of burning in-situ suggesting they may have been the remnants of charcoal burning pits. A radiocarbon date for these pits suggests an Anglo-Saxon date.
