Full Description
January 2023. Trial Trenching.
Evaluation of proposed development site.
Although the four trenches excavated revealed a range of irregular linear and discrete features none appeared to be archaeologically-significant. The majority of the discrete features were probably natural in origin, representing tree-throw hollows or the like.
It was noted that the subsoil was very compact and there was other evidence to suggest the site had seen a degree of disturbance during recent construction work in the vicinity.
There was no evidence for surviving sub-surface remains associated with a number of north-to-south aligned linear cropmarks visible on aerial photographs of the area (part of three groups recorded separately as NHERs 45056, 45057 and 43495).
No finds were recovered.
See report (S1) for further details.
An archive associated with this work has been deposited with Norwich Castle Museum (NWHCM : 2023.29).
