The Norfolk County Council Historic Environment Record (HER) was consulted for information on known archaeological sites and heritage assets occurring within a radius of 1km of the proposed development. Searches were also carried out at the Norfolk Records Office for historic maps and plans depicting the area of the proposed development. A site visit was made on 3rd September 2025, to ascertain the nature of current land-use and general site circumstances, and to identify any salient features of potential archaeological significance. Photographs taken during the visit include general views of the area and specific views of potentially significant heritage assets. Internet sources consulted as part of the research included: " The National Heritage List " Reports made available by the Archaeological Data Service " British Library On-line Gallery (for Original Ordnance Survey Maps) " Norfolk Historic Map Explorer " Norfolk Heritage Explorer " Open Domesday " Vision of Britain The Site has been part of agricultural field systems since at least the 18th century. In the late 19th or early 20th century a nursery constructed greenhouses within the Site, but these were demolished by the mid-20th century.
