Full Description
June 2013. Trial Trenching.
Evaluation of proposed route of new sludge transfer pipeline.
The southernmost of the two trenches excavated in this field exposed a pair of parallel, roughly east-to-west aligned ditches. These features both produced fragments of clay tobacco pipe and are therefore likely to have been post-medieval.
The northern trench revealed no archaeologically significant features or deposits.
In both trenches removal of the soil layers exposed a pale blue silt with orange flecks that was regarded as a natural deposit.
Unstratified finds included a medieval brick fragment.
See report (S1) for further details.
The archive associated with this work has been deposited with the Norwich Castle Museum (NWHCM : 2017.189).
