I have a distant cousin who is a farmer in Norway. Many years ago, before I was an archaeologist, he found waterlogged wooden building foundations in a part of his land that has not been settled for at least several hundred years.
His reaction, in fear of the archaeological authorities, was to destroy the site immediately. I'm not surprised, if he could be forced to pay for an archaeological excavation.
There was no intention to develop the land affected, which is still a field to this day (around 30 years later).
