Full Description
December 2009. Watching Brief.
Monitoring of groundworks associated with renewal of elecrical cable supplying St George's chuch.
The hand-dug trench exposed a section of masonry composed of medium sized flints bonded with soft sandy mortar, thought to represent the foundations of the 15th century tower of St. George's church. In addition, a number of fragments of brick, mortar and flint building material, along with cattle and human bone fragments were found redeposited in the fill of a modern cable trench. The presence of the human and animal bone is comparable to an adjacent site (NHER 140) where human and ox (castrated bull) bones were also discovered.
See report (S1) for further details.
The associated archive has been deposited with the Norwich Castle Museum (NWHCM : 2011.284).
