Full Description
May-November 2004. Norfolk Rapid Coastal Zone Archaeological Survey.
Inter-tidal survey (Environmental Zone 10), Context 871:
A jetty and quay structure was found, consisting of at least forty upright wooden posts; in three areas horizontal planks survived and in one there was a brick platform. It was situated on the north bank of Wells harbour channel. It is possible that the shells found to the northwest [context 791, NHER 41488] were landed here.
On a map from 1782, something labelled ‘Friston’s Jutties’ is shown at this location (((S1), in (S2)). This may be the recorded structure.
A map from 1784 shows buildings close to by; these may have been associated ((S3), in (S4)).
See assessment report (S5) for further details.
The associated archive has been deposited with the Norwich Castle Museum (NWHCM : 2017.421).
