Full Description
May-August 2007. Excavation and Watching Brief.
Excavation of two small areas prior to installation of septic tanks and construction new lorry turning area. Subsequent monitoring during installation of new drains.
The majority of the features and deposits encountered in the two small areas excavated appeared to be related to Burwood Hall itself, which was built in the late 18th century. The exception was a single medieval pit.
Medieval pottery (no later than 14th century), and a lava quern fragment from the medieval feature. Post-medieval pottery and ceramic building material was also recovered.
See report (S1) for further details. Final report awaited.
The associated archive has been deposited with the Norwich Castle Museum (NWHCM : 2017.123).
