Full Description
1971. Excavations by A. Carter for Norwich Survey Project.
Extensive post medieval disturbance but traces of two medieval buildings which replaced two Late Saxon buildings found. Associated rubbish and cess pits produced groups of Late Saxon and Early medieval pottery and animal bones including Dutch red-painted wares, Andenne and blue-grey handled ladle. Also post medieval rubbish pits containing almost entirely locally produced coarse lead glazed earthenware. [1]
Compiled by E. B. Green (NCM).
Excavations above also revealed evidence for early quarrying, followed by continuous occupation until the construction of the 1858 Gas Works.
