Full Description
July 2005. Watching Brief.
Monitoring of excavation of footing trench for new dwelling. Contexts 1 to 7.
A pit or gully was recorded which contained pottery dated to the Late Saxon period. This feature cut the upper fills of a large predominantly peat filled feature at least 9.5m wide and 2.4m deep. It is most likely that the large feature was a palaeochannel of the River Gadder of ancient, probably early Holocene, date.
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 : 2016.191).
