Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation comprising a single trench was undertaken in the car park of The Ship Inn, Main Road, Brancaster, Norfolk. The site lies in an area of archaeological interest within the historic core of the settlement of Brancaster, directly opposite the parish church of St Mary. The Roman fort of Branodunum, a Scheduled Ancient Monument, lies approximately 850m to the east of the proposed development. On either side of the fort are the remains of a Romano-British settlement or 'vicus'. The evaluation revealed a ditch and pit of 13th to 15th century medieval date, along with a shallower linear feature of probable similar date, and a north-south aligned chalk and limestone wall of late or postmedieval date. The evaluation confirmed that the site lies within the medieval settlement area. However, no evidence was revealed of Romano-British remains extending into the site. Finds comprised mainly medieval pottery and late post-medieval pottery and ceramic building material (CBM). |
