Abstract: |
Archaeological trial trench evaluation was conducted for Fred Long and Sons Ltd ahead of proposed redevelopment of the former Longs Dairy at 59-61 Beccles Road, Gorleston-on-Sea. The site lies within what is considered to be the precinct of a medieval Augustinian Friary. A total of three evaluation trenches each measuring c.15m by 2.00m in plan were investigated to evaluate the area of proposed development. The most important remains were revealed to the south of the site in Trench 3 where two banded footings of a medieval construction are considered to be remains of the friary. A robbed-out tiled surface in the same trench is also thought to have been part of the Friary, possibly of a putative chapterhouse which had been exposed by earlier archaeological excavations in the 1970s. The corner of a masonry building present in the centre of the site is also considered to be part of the Friary. A pit containing animal bone located in the north of the site and dated as late medieval might been connected with disposal of food debris from the Friary. Apart from these remains no other archaeological features considered to be significant were recorded. |
