Full Description
February-March 2013. Watching Brief.
Maintained during installation of new water main.
No archaeologically-significant remains were noted in this section of the narrow pipe trench excavated.
The small number of unstratified finds recovered at this location include a prehistoric retouched flint flake; Late Saxon, medieval, post-medieval and post-medieval/modern pottery sherds; a fragment of medieval worked stone; two undatable iron nails and several fragments of animal bone.
The worked stone is a roughly rectangular piece of Weldon limestone with only two finished edges and remnants of tooling on both surfaces. It is most likely a small ashlar block and had probably come from West Acre Priority (NHER 3881).
See report (S1) for further details.
The archive associated with this work has been deposited with the Norwich Castle Museum (NWHCM : 2017.179).
