Abstract:		 Between July and October 2008, Archaeological Solutions conducted a trial trench evaluation to the rear of Nos. 4 - 8 Ber Street, Norwich, Norfolk (NGR TG 2324 0821). Four trial trenches were excavated, with the aim of characterising any archaeological remains present on the site. The evaluation was intended to inform decision-making regarding the possible purchase of the site for residential development. The trenches revealed a deep, stratified sequence of remains dating from the 12th century onwards. A range of well-preserved 12th to 14th century 'backyard' features including burgage plot boundary ditches, rubbish pits and wells were encountered. More significant were the flint and brick foundations of a substantial high-status late medieval building, located towards the rear of the site (Trench 4). The building was probably constructed around AD 1400 and contained a sequence of beaten clay floors, partition walls and occupation layers. Two probable furnaces were also present in Trench 4, the earliest of which was located inside one room of the medieval building. Abundant fragments of re-deposited furnace lining in Trench 1 indicate that bronze working also took place in other areas of the site. This industrial activity probably spanned the 14th to 16th centuries. There was less evidence of past activity towards the north-east corner of the site (Trench 2). However, part of a human skull lying on the natural clay at the bottom of the trench might indicate the presence of medieval or earlier graves in the vicinity.
