Full Description
November 2020-March 2021. Geophysical Survey.
Magnetometer survey of site on proposed route of Norwich Western Link (Area 16).
This survey identified nothing of potential archaeological interest. Much of the western half of the site was though obscured by extensive areas of magnetic disturbance.
See report (S1) for further details.

May-July 2022. Trial Trenching.
Evaluation of site on proposed route of Norwich Western Link (Field TT12; Trenches 154 and 156-157).
The northernmost of the three trenches excavated at this location revealed an east-north-east to west-south-west aligned ditch that contained a small assemblage of Roman pottery. An adjacent, parallel ditch that either terminated or turned to the north within the trench produced a single Roman pottery sherd and a presumably residual flint borer of Late Neolithic/Bronze Age date.
See report (S2) for further details.
