Full Description
October 2010. Borehole Survey.
Archaeological window sampling evaluation.
The deposits identified in the samples indicated that waterlogged ground at the site, perhaps a foreshore or natural creek, had been infilled and sealed by dumps of material. Two sherds of medieval pottery recovered from this material may suggest a broad date for this activity. A peat layer which may be suitable for radiocarbon dating was identified at 1.2mOD.
See report (S1) for further details.
The archive associated with this work has been deposited with the Norwich Castle Museum (NWHCM : 2011.150).
