Full Description
January 2012. Trial Trenching.
Evaluation of proposed development site.
Five shallow ditches, two pits and a post hole were recorded. No artefacts were recovered from these features. The lack of artefacts together with the site's location adjacent to the flood plain of the river Wensum suggests that the land may have been used as a meadow prior to the Enclosure Act of 1809. The cropmarks identified on the site (NHER 50710) have been attributed to variations in the underlying geology.
See report (S1) for details. The results of this work are also summarised in (S2).
The associated archive has been deposited with the Norwich Castle Museum (NWHCM : 2016.478).
