Summary

Trial trenching at this site in 2016 recorded only a single feature - a very shallow possible ditch running parallel to the adjacent road. Dating evidence was limited to a single small, potentially intrusive pottery sherd of 19th- to 20th-century date. A small number of unstratified medieval and post-medieval/modern pottery sherds were also recovered from the overlying subsoil.

Full Description

August 2016. Trial Trenching.
Evaluation of proposed development site.
The three trenches excavated revealed only a single feature – a shallow east-north-east to west-south-west aligned possible ditch at the western edge of the site. This contained a single piece of post-medieval/modern pottery, although it is suggested this small sherd could well be residual.
Several sherds of medieval and post-medieval/modern pottery were recovered from the reasonably deep subsoil overlying this feature.
See report (S1) for further details.
The archive associated with this work has been deposited with the Norwich Castle Museum (NWHCM : 2016.396).
