Abstract: |
In August 2010 an excavation was carried out by NAU Archaeology on behalf of Lucas Hickman Smith Ltd and Norfolk Museums and Archaeology Service within the north-eastern corner of the courtyard at the Bridewell Museum in Norwich. This investigation was accompanied by a programme of archaeological monitoring, undertaken intermittently over a period of seven months concluding in the winter of 2010. The excavation revealed deposits dating back to the 11th century although heavily truncated by the construction of a 14th-century undercroft. Additionally, a previously unknown brick arch was revealed in the western wall of the undercroft. The remainder of the renovation works had a relatively low impact upon any further archaeological deposits however a second brick arch was exposed upon the internal face of the northern ground floor wall and evidence for a previous floor encountered within the foyer area. |
