Abstract: |
From the 4th to the 7th December 2015, Britannia Archaeology undertook an archaeological investigation by means of a trial trench evaluation on the location of a proposed house, White Hart Street, Aylsham, Norfolk. A generic design brief issued by Norfolk County Council Historic Environment Service required one trial trench measuring 6.00 x 1.80m to be excavated. Four phases of activity were encountered: The most recent phase related to the 20th century demolition of post-medieval structures in the 1960's and redevelopment for use as an ad hoc carpark. The second phase related to a floor surface and wall which were surviving remnants of post-medieval cottages that stood on the land. The bricks recovered from the floor surface date the construction of these cottages to the 18th or 19th century. The third phase comprised of an urban accumulation layer spanning the medieval and post-medieval periods. The fourth and final phase was represented by a sill beam foundation trench cut into the natural sand, and two postholes contained within. These features are indicative of mid to late medieval or early post-medieval timber framed buildings. |
