Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was conducted for the NPS Group during groundworks associated with the installation of an earth rod for a new electrical feeder pillar recently installed on Tombland, Norwich. This involved the excavation of a small hole measuring 0.8m deep. No evidence of earlier market surfaces was present and the dating of the layer immediately below the modern cobbles was of 16th-17th-century date suggesting that there may not be a great build-up of material in this area. The excavation took place within an area that may have been on the site of the church of St Michael, demolished in the early 12th century. If this were the case then the earliest deposit encountered may have been a churchyard soil, but no human bone was recovered. |
