Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation at land at South Quay, Kings Lynn, Norfolk. The work was commissioned by CgMs consulting to assess the archaeological implications of development on the site. The work comprised the excavation a stepped 8m by 8m trench. A number of post-medieval (17th to 19th century) walls and brick and cobble surfaces were recorded. Some probable late Medieval/early Post Medieval period midden features underlay these walls which cut into layers of ground-making deposits of pebbly sand, representing the reclamation of land from the River Ouse. Deeper in the sequence were several layers of water lain organic rich silts and sands with anthropogenic inclusions (pot, cbm, leather). Deposits were excavated to a maximum depth of 4.3m below ground level. The natural was however not reached. |
