Mayton Wood, Buxton with Lammas Norfolk: A 'Strip, Map and Sample' Excavation Phase 2

Abstract

During two weeks in April 2005 a ‘strip, map and sample’ excavation was undertaken at Mayton Wood, Buxton with Lammas, Norfolk (NGR: 624170 32144). This was further to work undertaken by the Cambridge Archaeological Unit (CAU) during April 2004. Six linear features were recorded, two of which formed a continuation of a north-west - south-east route way of possible Romano British date, extending along the south-western edge of an enclosure identified by the previous phase of excavation. Two of the remaining linears formed another enclosure ditch or possible second north-east south-west route way. With no dating evidence recovered, a Romano British date for these features is most probable. A single post-medieval ditch was also recorded. Eleven small burnt pits similar to those revealed by the previous phase were recorded. These were probably charcoal burning pits of Anglo-Saxon date.
