Full Description
August 2004. Trial Trenching.
Evaluation of proposed development site. Contexts 100 to 135.
Revealed several features, including parallel ditches, which may be the remains of a trackway. Medieval pottery was recovered from a small cut into the possible trackway. A substantial ditch dating to the post medieval period was found, as well as a small pit in which prehistoric flint and pottery was found.
See report (S1) for further details. The results of this work are also summarised in (S2).
The associated archive has been deposited with the Norwich Castle Museum (NWHCM : 2017.558) [1].
