Full Description
January 1998. Trial Trench.
Evaluation excavation at 13/15 Market Gates in advance of development.
Revealed remains of the earthen artillery bank behind the defences (see NHER 4294) in two phases, 16th and 17th century, with part of cobbled surface. Various post medieval finds of pottery, metalwork etc. and also medieval pottery, floor tile, roofing tile, jettons which are presumably residual.
See report (S1) for further details. The results of this work are also summarised in (S2).
The associated archive has been deposited with the Norwich Castle Museum (NWHCM : 2017.454).
E. Rose (NLA), 17 February 1998. Amended by P. Watkins (HES), 9 April 2015 and 27 May 2019.
May 1998.
The further work on site was found to have been carried out by the builders without informing NAU. Consequently the only further material noted by NAU was more post medieval sherds. Part of town wall said to have been exposed.
See correspondence (S3) in file.
