Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief was conducted for NPS South East Ltd. during groundworks associated with the conversion of the land around Kings House, Surrey Street, Norwich to create a Free School. Due to the restricted scope of the works only limited evidence was found, but this did point to two distinct phases of activity- medieval settlement after the creation of Surrey Street in the 13th century and the redevelopment of the area for elite housing in the 18th century. A small, undated, boundary ditch found close to the modern boundary of the plot may be one of the original 13th-century plot boundaries. It was located c.80m (four chains) away from St Stephen's Street, suggesting plot frontages based on the chain (a chain measures 21 yards, just over 19m). |
