Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was conducted for Kelvin Balding prior to the construction of two residential dwellings on former allotment gardens at the end of Cresswell Street, King's Lynn. The site was once an area of salt marsh beyond the northern limits of King's Lynn, being enclosed by an extension to the town's defences in the 17th century. Although the site lies close the line of these Civil War defences (and the probable location of an 18th-century brick kiln) the single trench excavated revealed no archaeologically significant features or deposits. This result, coupled with those of earlier work, suggests that this area remained largely undeveloped until the creation of Cresswell Street and its adjacent roads in the late 19th century. |
