Abstract:		 An archaeological watching brief was conducted for the Norfolk County Council Environment, Transport and Development division during groundworks associated with the St.Augustine's Gyratory road scheme. The groundworks monitored included works across the line of the city wall (at St.Augustine's Gate and Esdelle Street) and across the ditch associated with it (Bakers Road, St.Augustine's Gate and Esdelle Street). One remnant of probably in situ masonry belonging to the city wall was recorded - at the north end of Esdelle Street just below the current ground surface. The shape of this masonry suggests that it may have formed part of one of the five mural towers situated between Magdalen and St. Augustine's Gates but whose exact location is not known. The notable absence of any other remains of wall masonry suggests that the redevelopment of this area for residential use in the late 19th century and the construction of the modern roads severely impacted upon its survival. Nonetheless in the limited areas where it does survive below ground, it is quite close to surface level (e.g. at Esdelle Street). The city ditch was not observed as groundworks did not penetrate deeply enough to expose this feature. A well was discovered at Botolph Street, which may have been medieval in origin.
