Monument record FKM 088 - OUTLINE RECORD: Late neolithic to Bronze Age linear features, pits and cremation burials on Land North of RAF Honington, Fakenham Magna, Suffolk (CFA)

There were three main phases of works, the first was an archaeological trial trench evaluation comprising 126 evaluation trenches. A series of linear features, most likely relating to agricultural activity, and a number of isolated pits were identified within 11 trenches. A number of these pits contained prehistoric worked flint, including two pits that contained identifiable Late Neolithic/Early Bronze Age flint flakes. A cremation was found in a pit containing a single individual under 18 years of age, along with several burnt and worked prehistoric flints and a possible Early Mesolithic crested blade. The second phase of work comprised archaeological monitoring which yielded seven features (five linear ditches and two pits) in proximity to a known Bronze Age barrow cemetery (BNH 120). The third phase of mitigation works was excavations and yielded a series of curvilinear ditches, a multitude of pits, post-holes, and cremation burials. Artefactual evidence dated most of the activity to the Bronze Age with finds including a Late Bronze Age sword tip (S1).
