Abstract:
In late 2009 and early 2010 NAU Archaeology conducted an archaeological watching brief for Norwich City Council ahead of deconstruction and renovation works at the Memorial Gardens, Norwich. The watching brief was concerned with recording any remains of archaeological interest revealed during these works, particularly during the mechanical excavation and replacement of concrete stanchions at the site. The watching brief revealed little of archaeological significance as the area examined had been extensively truncated when a large scale re-ordering of the market place and construction of City Hall took place in the first half of the 19th century. Undisturbed geological deposits were seen in all the stanchion trenches monitored. These deposits consisted of sands overlying chalk. The occurrence of large flint nodules overlying chalk in some of the stanchion trenches is of interest, as exposures of such material in the sides of the Cockey Valley might have provided a source of flint during prehistoric times.
