Abstract: |
An Archaeological Watching Brief was carried out on four small, narrow trenches excavated in the pavement on the north side of Barrack Street, Norwich. The primary reason for the excavation of the trenches was to locate services in advance of road widening and associated works. As anticipated, all of the trenches were heavily disturbed by modern services. In the two central trenches two flint, brick and mortar walls were recorded (one possible and one definite). These walls formed part of a post-medieval building demolished in the 1930s to make way for the extant Bargate Court flats. In addition a single evaluation trench measuring 2m by 8m was excavated on the traffic island of Whitefriars roundabout. Two flint and mortar and one brick wall were seen at the southern end of the trench, overlain by c.1.0m of make-up material deposited during construction of the roundabout in the 1960s. |
