Abstract:		 Two 3m x 3m trenches, excavated to a depth of 3.00m and 3.46m below the current ground level, revealed a sequence of deposits. The archaeological deposits were sealed by substantial (1.00m to 1.50m below existing ground surfaces) recent overburden, probably from the demolition of previous mill buildings. Trench one revealed a sequence of organic silting deposits derived from the narrowing of the River Wensum during the medieval period. Natural riverene sand was observed at a depth of 3.00m. Overlying the silting deposits were medieval internal floor and occupation layers. These were truncated by a post-medieval well, structural robbing trenches and walls. In Trench two, a well stratified sequence of occupation dating from medieval pitting and a boundary ditch, medieval internal floors with associated hearth and late medieval structural remains were present. These were truncated by a number of inter-cutting late medieval and post-medieval rubbish pits and Victorian cellaring. [Au(adp)]
