Abstract:		 An archaeological watching brief was conducted by NAU Archaeology for Britvic Soft Drinks Ltd at its facility in Norwich, Norfolk ahead of laying down an electricity supply cable across the River Wensum. Archaeologists monitored the mechanical excavation of two coffer dams on the north and south banks of the River Wensum and a connecting trench across the river bed in March and April of 2010. The archaeological fieldwork work and data from a previous geotechnical borehole survey identified that a significant depth (c.2m) of peat overlay sands and gravels on the north bank of the river. Though it is likely peat deposits also occurred along the south bank, they were apparently absent in the immediate area of the south coffer dam, perhaps removed by previous activity consolidating the river bank. No artefacts were recovered by the fieldwork, but significantly the project demonstrated the survival of a similar geological context, i.e. peat overlying river terrace sands and gravels, as was present at the nearby site of Carrow Road where prehistoric flint work had survived in situ. The depth of peat to the north of the river might enable the survival of organic archaeological remains at this location
