Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was conducted during drainage works to the rear of Felbrigg Great Hall, Norfolk. The watching brief recorded no archaeological remains of any note in either of the two excavated areas. A few pieces of late 19th-early 20th-century pottery were recovered during excavations through the flowerbeds to the rear of the property, but these were not retained. Only a small area within the courtyard appeared to be undisturbed by services, but even this was probably of 18th-century or later date. The observed height of the natural deposits suggests that, prior to construction of Gardiners Cottage, the area to the south of the current garden was terraced. This would have removed any archaeological remains. Similarly, within the courtyard modern services were found to have disturbed the surrounding deposits. |
