Abstract:		 An archaeological watching brief was to have been conducted for Mr Declan Lohan during the early phases of construction at 197 Queens Road, Norwich. However, the works were carried out without any archaeological involvement, so this report has been prepared to try to determine as far as is possible the archaeological potential of the site and the likely impacts the development may have had on that potential. The site sits outside the line of the medieval city walls in an area of the modern city that was developed in the early- to mid-19th century as part of a row of buildings, most of which are now protected as Listed Buildings. Prior to its development the site was located on open, probably agricultural, land and is unlikely to have experienced much significant past activity, so its archaeological potential was fairly low. The only archaeological works to have taken place close to the site (and also outside the city walls) was a watching brief carried out during the excavation of new foundations a short distance to the south of the site that revealed the foundations were cut through modern made ground. The borehole log for the current development site demonstrates that there is around 1m of rubbly soil, which seems to be similar to that recorded during the earlier watching brief, suggesting that the area around Hall Road - Queens Road was made up and levelled prior to its development in the 19th century. It is considered likely that the pile and ground beam foundation design of the new build (which extended some 600-900mm below ground level) was located within an area of modern rubble, sand and gravel make-up that extended to approximately 1m below the surface
