NHER 37720 (Monument record) - Medieval and post medieval features at Car Park West of Sainsbury's Shopping Centre

February 2003-March 2005. Trial Trenching and Excavation.
Evaluation of proposed redevelopment area in 2003 (Trenches 1-6), following by archaeological monitoring and targeted excavation during site clearance and construction work in 2005 (Area A).
A number of timbers (some re-used boat timbers) appeared to represent a displaced revetment dated to the 14th-15th centuries. A medieval cobbled surface, a later but probably associated brick wall, a 16th century brick building and post medieval pits were also found.
Medieval and post medieval pottery and 13th century leather sole fragments were among the finds.
See published monograph (S1) for full details. See also evaluation report (S2) and assessment report (S3). The results of this work are also summarised in (S4).
The evidence from the excavation was previously also recorded (in error) as NHER 55470.
The associated archive has been deposited with the Norwich Castle Museum (NWHCM : 2013.164 and NWHCM : 2013.166).
