Abstract: |
Fourteen evaluation trenches were excavated during October 2003 in a car-park and adjoining garden immediately to the south-east of Dereham Town centre. This work, commissioned by Dencora Construction Ltd, was designed to evaluate a c.2 hectare site in advance of redevelopment. There was generally very little evidence for activity on the site before the 20th century, with the exception of post-medieval field boundary ditches and the remains of post-medieval houses on the High Street frontage. The Norwich Street frontage, however, was of slightly more interest and here there was some evidence of activity from the medieval period onwards. The overall conclusions from the evaluation work thus far are that any medieval core to Dereham lay outside the development area. |
