Abstract:
Norfolk Archaeological Unit undertook a programme of archaeological work on the site of the proposed Cringleford Park and Ride development, located to the south-west of Norwich. This work consisted of an initial fieldwalking and metal detector survey, twenty seven trial trenches and a large strip and record excavation. A range of discrete and linear features were excavated during this work and a reasonable quantity of artefacts recovered. This evidence was mainly of prehistoric date and suggests occupation of the surrounding area during several periods.These results add to the increasingly detailed understanding of the location and nature of prehistoric land use in the area surrounding Norwich. Activity during the Neolithic and Bronze Age was represented by a large assemblage of worked flint recovered from topsoil and subsoil contexts and a small number of pits containing pottery of this date.More substantial evidence for early to middle Iron Age activity was also recovered. Ditches, possibly representing enclosures and trackway fragments, could be tentatively dated to the Iron Age, demonstrating a developed and organised landscape in the vicinity of the site at this time. A small number of Iron Age pits were also identified. A large number of poorly dated or undated pits and postholes were also identified. While many were of potentially prehistoric date, these showed little spatial patterning and could not be related to any specific phase of activity. The first part of this report presentsd the full results of the excavation that concluded this programme of work. This is followed by an assessment of the potential of the stratigraphic and artefactual datarecovered during all phases of work. The final part of this report presents an Updated Project Design. This summarises the further analysis and nature of publication required to meet the work''s specific and general aims as stated in the original Project Designs.
