Abstract: |
An archaeological trial trench evaluation was conducted for Mr Trades ahead of the creation of new homes at Sussex Street, Norwich. Sussex Street is located in an area of Norwich known as the 'Gildencroft', which in the medieval period, was an open area within the city walls. Several of the evaluation trenches contained archaeological features which dated to the early post-medieval period, appearing to be associated with early development of the 'Gildencroft' area. A ditch located within Trench 6 on the north-west side of the development plot probably represents the rear boundary of a property which once fronted onto Oak Street. Several small pits were found within Trenches 2, 3 and 5 in the southern half of the plot, one of which contained a large amount of slag indicating, that iron-working was being undertaken close by. |
