Abstract:		 NPS Archaeology was commissioned by NPS Group to undertake an archaeological evaluation prior to submission of a planning application to construct more than 100 new dwellings on a plot of land adjacent to Goldsmith Street on the west side of Norwich (TG 2211 0916).The proposed development site is 1.1ha in area. The archaeological evaluation was undertaken from 6-14 July 2015 and consisted of 13 trial trenches designed to sample 5% of the development. Notably, the work revealed a 16th-century waste pit in the northeast corner of the site. The pit contained large amounts of animal bone, including the skeleton of a horse, which may point to the tanning activities that are known to have been widespread in Lower Heigham. The activity represented by the archaeological feature is likely to be linked with early suburban growth outside Norwich's medieval city walls. A second, undated pit may also be of early origin, but because of the lack of dating evidence the possibility that it is part of an infilled crater resulting from Second World War bomb strikes cannot be ruled out. Evidence of bomb blast may have been detected elsewhere in the north of the site, but is difficult to identify with certainty. In other areas of the evaluation features of late 18th-19th-century date were identified, including waste pits and possible quarry pits likely to be associated with the small 19th-century development of Greyhound Opening. The lack of further elements of medieval and early post-medieval date may usefully help define the limits of the suburb of Lower Heigham to the northeast of the site, closer to Heigham Street, although the degree of truncation observed across the site-due to its recent land use and considerable redevelopment through the 20th century-may have destroyed evidence of prior activity.
