Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was undertaken during provision of a loading ramp to the rear of Tesco Metro Supermarket at 5 Guildhall Hill, Norwich. Chalk natural was observed in the south-east of the site. A pit of apparent medieval or early post-medieval date cut this chalk natural. To the south-west of the area the upstanding walls of a Second World War air raid shelter survived. Construction of this shelter appears to have truncated or removed any further archaeological deposits. The high level of chalk natural indicates that outside the area affected by the air raid shelter, a presumably earlier episode of truncation or landscaping had taken place. |
