Abstract:
Norvic Archaeology was commissioned by Samuel Dacre, to undertake a programme of archaeological mitigation work associated with renewal work and the creation of a new basin and quay heading at Brundall Gardens Marina (Planning Ref. BA/2012/0121/FUL). The marina is located within the flood plain of the River Yare in an area considered to have high potential for waterlogged deposits and palaeoenvironmental evidence. Additionally, prehistoric, Roman and medieval finds have been discovered in the wider area and an Anglo Saxon cemetery is thought to exist to the north-east at Brundall Gardens, along with a significant focus of Roman activity, which may include the location of a dockside close to a substantial Roman building. No archaeologically significant deposits were identified or disturbed during the programme of works. The area was formerly a reed marsh which was initially developed to accommodate a Hotel site in the 1920s as part of a successful period of pre-World War II tourism focused around the attraction of Brundall Gardens and its tea-rooms and dance hall. The results of the auger survey and subsequent monitoring indicate that the upper peat deposits were still actively forming until they were sealed by a consolidation layer of 'Cantley Ash', a clinker deposit laid down across much of the area prior to construction of the former Riverside Hotel.
