Map

April 2014. Trial Trench.
Evaluation of proposed development site.
The single trench excavated revealed two undated east-north-east to west-south-west aligned linear features. These were potentially ditches, although it is noted that the nature of their profiles and the presence of a deep subsoil deposit may indicate that they were ploughed out furrows (i.e. the remnants of medieval ridge and furrow earthworks).
No finds were recovered.
See report (S1) for further details.
The archive associated with this work has been deposited with Norwich Castle Museum (NWHCM : 2017.246).
