Full Description
February 2003. Trial Trenching.
Three trenches excavated within the footprints of proposed dwellings.
Two of the trenches exhibited no evidence of archaeological interest while Trench 2 contained a wide linear feature, possibly a boundary ditch, containing sherds of early and late medieval pottery and a lump of metal smithing slag. An ephemeral gully of unknown function was also located within this trench.
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 : 2018.188).
