NHER 64850 (Negative evidence record) - Site where limited groundworks revealed 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 the construction of new buildings at this site in 2012 recorded no archaeologically-significant features or deposits. It should though be noted that the monitored groundworks did not extend below the a reasonably think subsoil deposit, so archaeological remains present at this location may still lie preserved beneath the modern buildings.

Full Description

May-June 2012. Watching Brief.
Monitoring of groundworks associated with construction of new office and storage buildings.
No archaeologically-significant features or deposits were recorded and no finds were recovered.
It should though be noted that the various trenches opened for ground beams and services were only excavated to a maximum depth of 0.5m below present ground level. As a result they did not reach the base of what appeared to be a fairly deep, relatively undisturbed subsoil layer.
See report (S1) for further details.
