Full Description
June-July 2024. Watching Brief.
Monitoring of groundworks associated with construction of two new residential dwellings.
The initial removal of topsoil from the site and subsequent piling operations revealed no archaeologically-significant remains. The earliest deposit encountered was a spread of dumped material that produced two late post-medieval/modern pottery sherds, a brick of 19th to 20th-century date.
See report (S1) for further details.
An archive associated with this work has been deposits with Norwich Castle Museum (NWHCM : 2024.251).
