Abstract:
In October 2008, Archaeological Solutions (AS) carried out an archaeological evaluation of land at Plot 20a, Bergen Way, North Lynn Industrial Estate, Kings Lynn, Norfolk (NGR TF 6297 2197). The evaluation was commissioned in advance of works for a showroom with combined office space (Planning ref: 08/00995/F). The desk-based assessment showed potential for multi-period remains. The prehistoric and Roman periods are not represented in this area of Kings Lynn which is likely to be due to the site lying within uninhabitable marshland. The town of Kings Lynn originated in the late Anglo-Saxon period although the area of the site was still likely to have been wetland. By the medieval period, the surrounding area was in use for the saltern industry and it is possible that evidence relating to that industry could be encountered on the site. Cartographic sources suggest the site was marshland throughout the post-medieval up until the 1970's when the North Lynn housing and industrial development were constructed. The evaluation comprised the excavation of three 30m trenches that ranged between 0.75m and 1.0m deep. No archaeological features were observed during the evaluation.
