Full Description
Anglo-Saxon and medieval town.
March 1986. Excavation.
NAU excavation by P. Millington-Wallace with an Manpower Services Committee team.
Constraints of the site meant that work had to cease at a depth of 5m, when only 12th century levels had been reached. These deposits consisted of homogeneous black silts and rubbish, similar to levels encountered above river marsh elsewhere in the city.
The location of such deposits here, however, at some remove from the River Wensum, heightens speculation that the line of St George's Street south of Colegate may represent an early outfall of the Muspole stream.
