Abstract: |
Norvic Archaeology was commissioned by Malcolm Williamson of Williamson Developments on behalf of the owner Andrew English, to undertake archaeological monitoring of groundworks associated with an extension to the rear of 101 Lynn Road, Grimston (Planning Ref. 12/01304/F). Despite homogenisation of subsoil by the presence of a former Orchard on the site a curving section of a wide U-shaped ditch of uncertain function was identified, along with two post-holes which are thought to predate post-medieval activity on the site. No datable finds were recovered from these features, although the presence of mussel shell within one of the postholes suggests that some, or all of the features are later in date than prehistoric and a medieval date is currently proposed. Although by no means conclusive, these features can be postulated as additional evidence of former medieval activity in the area of the site, which augment medieval finds and a possible wall noted ahead of development in the adjacent orchard during the 1980s. |
