NHER 62663 (Negative evidence record) - Site where shallow groundworks exposed no archaeologically significant remains

The Norfolk Heritage Explorer is a filtered version of the Norfolk HER intended for casual research. Please contact us to consult the full record.

Summary

A watching brief maintained during groundworks at this site in 2015 recorded no archaeologically significant features or deposits. This negative result was however largely a reflection of the shallow nature of the excavated footings, which did not penetrate modern made-ground deposits.

Full Description

May 2015. Watching Brief.
Monitoring of groundworks associated with construction of new residential dwelling.
The relatively shallow footing trenches that were excavated exposed only modern made-ground deposits. As a result only modern features were recorded, including iron rails, a concrete pillar and a ceramic pipe.
No finds were recovered.
See report (S1) for further details.
The associated archive has been deposited with the Norwich Castle Museum (NWHCM : 2016.256).
P. Watkins (HES), 16 April 2018. Amended 21 June 2019.
