Full Description
June 2013. Trial Trenching.
Evaluation of proposed route of new sludge transfer pipeline.
The single trench excavated in this field revealed no archaeologically significant features or deposits.
An area of brown soil present at the southern end of the trench was deemed to be the fill of some form of hollow. This deposit contained flecks of chalk, charcoal and what appeared to be modern brick. The underlying deposits were natural pale grey silts with occasional fragments of marine shell.
Elsewhere along the trench removal of the soil layers exposed a pale brown silt that was interpreted as a natural deposit. This material was notable different from that exposed in the trenches excavated to the south of this site.
Unstratified finds included two post-medieval roof tile fragments.
See report (S1) for further details.
The archive associated with this work has been deposited with the Norwich Castle Museum (NWHCM : 2017.189).
