NHER 352 (Find Spot record) - Medieval rubbish pit, silver half-penny of Henry VI

Wensum River bank, south of Cow Tower.

1977. From Wensum River bank on west side around 1m from the surface and beneath high tide level. [1]
Deposit of animal bones and one sherd of late medieval/Trans pottery.
It could not be definitely established whether these were from a single deposit, though this seems likely.
The site is being continually eroded by river action.
The layer was around 30ft (9.1m) long and seems likely to represent a levelled rubbish tip.
Animal bones identified by P. Lawrance. Ox: calcanium, scapula, tibia, ulna, ribs. Sheep/Goat: scapula, humerus, rib. Bird: long bone. [2]
