Abstract: |
On the 28th of September 2020 Britannia Archaeology Ltd (BA) undertook a programme of informative archaeological trial trenching at 40 Marshland Street, Terrington St Clement, Norfolk (TF 5499 2018) on behalf of David Warnes. The archaeological work was undertaken as a condition of planning application 19/01788/O in advance of the construction of three new dwellings and associated works. The trenching comprised of two trenches measuring 30.00m x 1.80m. There was a moderate to high potential for finds and features relating to the Medieval and post-medieval periods, a moderate potential for Saxon finds, and a low potential for finds and features from all remaining periods. Despite the above potential the evaluation revealed no archaeological finds or features. It did reveal that a substantial amount of topsoil was imported onto the site for the garden centre that previously occupied the site and that the prior topsoil and agricultural subsoil were preserved beneath this layer. This indicates that had archaeological features been present within the site bounds they would have been preserved below these layers, however their absence suggests that the site was most likely in use as agricultural fields prior to its use as a garden centre. |
