Full Description
July-August 2004. Excavation.
Archaeological monitoring and targeted excavation during site clearance and construction work associated with Vancouver Center redevelopment.(Area D).
Archaeological recording in this area was largely confined to watching brief observations on the grubbing-out of pile locations. This identified the location of some of the 19th century northern and southern revetting walls and culverting of the Purfleet channel. A group of timbers to the centre of the site may indicate the position of the earlier un-revetted southern bank of the Purfleet.
See published monograph (S1) and assessment report (S2) for further details. The results of this work are also summarised in (S3) and (S4).
The associated archive has been deposited with the Norwich Castle Museum (NWHCM : 2013.164 and NWHCM : 2013.168).
