Full Description
August-September 2014. Watching Brief.
Groundworks for construction of a new dwelling were monitored.
A single large, undated ditch aligned perpendicular to Shernborne Road was recorded. Although no direct dating evidence was recovered, its relationship to Shernborne Road suggests a medieval or later date. The ditch may relate to medieval land divisions associated with the manorial site of Snaring Hall (NHER 1577) located immediately north and west of this site or other medieval settlement and post-medieval extraction (NHER 17436) south of Shernborne Road.
Several modern garden features associated with the former garden of No. 15 Shernborne Road were observed but not recorded.
No archaeological finds were recorded.
See report (S1) for further information.
The archive associated with this work has been deposited with the Norwich Castle Museum (NWHCM : 2017.267).
