Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was conducted for NPS South East Ltd ahead of proposed redevelopment at The Bure Valley School, Aylsham in Norfolk. The site lay to the south of the town of Aylsham at a height of approximately 35m OD. The two evaluation trenches investigated at the site measured 10m by 1.8m and 20m by 1.8m in plan, and were located within the footprint of the proposed redevelopment. The only feature of archaeological interest recorded by the evaluation was a ditch located at the north end of Trench 2. The small portion of this feature visible in plan suggested it was aligned approximately south-east to north-west. Interpreted as a field boundary, the artefacts recovered from this feature hinted that it had gone of use in the 19th or 20th centuries. A small numbers of other features examined during the evaluation are considered to be of natural origin. The evaluation provided little evidence for human activity within the area examined and that perhaps it had served as agricultural land. |
