Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was conducted for Norfolk County Council during works to install new CCTV columns around the perimeter of Norwich Castle Mound. A total of six 1m² pits were excavated to a depth of 1m, with connecting cable trenches of 0.45m width and depth, leading from the trenches towards the castle walls, these varied in length. All of the trenches showed a similar series of make-up layers, rubble, gravel and chalk, and were blank of archaeological features and deposits. Two of the trenches contained a wall, most likely contemporary with each other, one aligned north-south and one aligned east-west. These walls are probably both no earlier than 19th-century, due to their construction, and possibly relate to the low wall in which the iron railings that encircle the perimeter of the Castle Mound, sit. Although the walls are clearly not from that exact phase of activity, with the iron railings lying some c.0.3m away from the edge of the trenches, they are at least of the same type of construction as that described in a previous watching brief, and therefore likely to relate to an earlier perimeter demarcation. |
