Full Description
June 2014. Watching Brief.
Monitoring of groundworks associated with erection of shelter and interpretation panels adjacent to the Caistor Roman Town carpark.
The initial levelling of the site and the excavation of four corner post-holes for the new shelter revealed no archaeologically-significant features or deposits. It should though be noted that the groundworks were relatively shallow and did not reach the base of the topsoil. Finds were limited to three small Roman tile fragments (which were not retained).
See report (S1) for further details.
An archive associated with this work has been deposited with Norwich Castle Museum (NWHCM : 2021.226).

October 2015. Watching Brief.
Monitoring of groundworks associated with installation of new interpretation panel (Lectern 1).
The post-holes excavated encountered only a former topsoil deposit, which was overlain by modern makeup deposited during the construction of the adjacent shelter in 2014. No finds were recovered.
