Description
Original HER entry merged with NRHE data import:
Archaeological monitoring of ground reduction works preceding the construction of new reed beds at the Anglian Sewage Treatment Works, revealed that part of the site had already been truncated when the existing grass bed filters were created. As this truncation was mainly limited to the eastern end of the site, archaeological features including two undated ditches, a late Mesolithic/early Neolithic pit and a prehistoric alluvium had survived.
