NHER 62664 (Monument record) - Victorian cellar

January 2015. Watching Brief.
Monitoring of groundworks during construction of new apartment block.
The foundation trenches excavated revealed evidence for modern truncation across much of the site, with layers of disturbed material overlain by made-ground deposits.
The only surviving remains of note were the truncated sections of a red brick wall that had probably formed part of a Victorian cellar. This alignment of the cellar would have been similar to that of the extant structures on Railway Road a little way to the east. The rubble infill within the cellar contained modern debris.
The small number of finds recovered during this work were all of post-medieval or later date.
See report (S1) for further details.
The associated archive has been deposited with the Norwich Castle Museum (NWHCM : 2016.260).
