Abstract: |
Archaeological Recording and Monitoring was undertaken by NAU Archaeology at the rear of 174 King Street, Norwich where a lightwell was being created by the owners in order that they could redevelop and use the cellar of the building. Given the general importance of King Street in the development of Norwich and the fact that the building work was adjacent to a seventeenth century doorway into the cellar, a condition was set by the Local Planning Authority requiring that a Programme of Archaeological Works (PoAW) be undertaken at the site. The PoAW involved monotoring the sub surface excavations by the developer, recovering artefacts and cleaning and fully recording archaeological layers revealed and removed during the development. The development revealed the presence of a large pit immediately to the rear of the present 17th century property which appeared to have been gradually backfilled in the medieval period. The construction trench cut for the present 17th century house could be seen truncating the medieval layers and fills of a large pit. A compressed, probable original garden soil containing medieval and early post-medieval pottery was also observed. The work continues to add detail to what is known of this important Street in Norwich. |
