Full Description
May 2015. Trial Trenching.
Evaluation of proposed development site.
All three of the trenches excavated revealed deep deposits of made ground. It is likely that the site had also been truncated at some point in the past as intact topsoil and subsoil deposits were only noted at the end of one trench. Metal-detecting during the excavation of the trenches also produced an abundance of modern metalwork.
The only feature of note was a shallow pit that produced two post-medieval pottery sherds. A linear feature that was noted in two of the trenches was thought to be a former water channel.

The associated archive has been deposited with the Norwich Castle Museum (NWHCM : 2016.265).
