Full Description
March to June 2007. Watching Brief.
Monitoring of groundworks associated with River Wensum Flood Defence Scheme (Zone 1). Contexts 1-15.
Construction and maintenance of flood defences revealed flint and cobble footings beneath the wall separating Riverside Walk from the grounds of Pull's Ferry. While it is possible that these footings were part of the original cathedral precinct wall, associated stratigraphy indicates that it was more likely constructed during the post medieval period or later. No other archaeological features were identified, but one residual Late Saxon pottery sherd was recovered as well as post-medieval pottery, roof tile, and animal bone.
See report (S1) for further details.
The archive associated with this work has been deposited with the Norwich Castle Museum (NWHCM : 2017.420).
