Full Description
June 2014. Watching Brief.
Monitoring of groundworks associated with installation of an earth rod for a new electrical feeder pillar.
A small circular hole was excavated to a depth of 0.8m, revealing a sequence of dark brown sandy silt deposits beneath the modern flint cobble surface. All three of the deposits exposed appeared to contain sparse fragments of ceramic building material and the uppermost produced several sherds of 16th-/17th-century pottery. No other finds were recovered.
See report (S1) for further details.
The archive associated with this work has been deposited with the Norwich Castle Museum (NWHCM : 2017.254).
