Informative trenching uncovers no archaeological features in East Harling, suggesting geophysical anomalies lack subsurface evidence.

The aim is to assess the presence of archaeological features as part of a planning condition for residential development.
Conducted geophysical survey indicating potential archaeological features.
Executed Phase 1 and Phase 2 trial trenching to investigate the anomalies.
Sampled 3.5% of the site, including extending Trench 64 into the current site area.
No archaeological or modern features were discovered during the current Phase 2 trenching work.
Geophysical anomalies classified as 'undetermined and weak' did not correspond to sub-surface archaeological 'cuts'.
Trench 64 was also devoid of archaeological features but contributed to the site sampling.

Thorpe et al. (2024) studied this question.
