Abstract:		 In April 2001, Hertfordshire Archaeological Trust (HAT, now Archaeological Solutions (AS)) carried out an archaeological excavation on land at 12 Oak Street, Norwich, in advance of residential development. A trial trench evaluation by Norfolk Archaeological Unit in summer 2000 had revealed possible late Saxon structural remains and evidence of ironworking from the 10th - 14th century. The excavation identified four phases of activity. The earliest remains (10th-12th century; Phase 1) were of one or more timber buildings evident from surviving beam slots. During Phase 2 (11th - 14th century), a post-built structure replaced the earlier buildings and extensive quarrying took place, possibly to extract sand for building or iron ore from the underlying natural gravels. The resulting pits were then backfilled with large quantities of domestic waste and ironworking slag, the latter probably residual material deriving from an earlier smelting nd smithing area in Evaluation Trench 1. At some point in the mid-13th to mid-14th century, the west of the site may have been flooded from the river Wensum. This area was subsequently levelled in the 15th-16th century (Phase 3) to make way for a sequence of post-medieval buildings with flint and brick rubble footings, which were partially revealed within the excavation area (Phase 4). From Phase 1 onwards, the structural features were consistently aligned with respect to the axes of Oak Street and St Miles' Alley, possibly suggesting that precursors of these streets were already in existence in the late Saxon period.
