NHER 166 (Monument record) - Medieval finds and features, Coslany Street

1972.
Excavation by [1] and Norwich Survey through the courtesy of Norwich City Council.
A series of machine trenches were dug to examine the marsh and terrace stratigraphy and to establish the date of the initial occupation. The stratigraphy along both the Coslany and Colegate frontages had been destroyed by extensive cellarage. South of this a series of trenches were dug north to south across the site. These showed the gravel terrace sloping towards the river only just south of Colegate, overlain with a marsh peat.
Earliest occupation was 13th century; a number of small horn and metal smelting sites, overlain by later 13th and 14th century domestic floor levels.
No Saxon or early medieval pottery found (see NHER 308).
