Abstract: |
An archaeological watching brief (monitoring of Works under archaeological supervision and control) was undertaken during the excavation of footing trenches and other ground-works associated with the construction of a single new-build dwelling to the rear of the former Albert Victor public house, Castle Acre, Norfolk. Archaeological evaluation of the site through a programme of trial trenching was undertaken in 2011. The evaluation had identified evidence of quarrying and low level occupation of the site during the medieval period. The results of the watching brief were broadly in line with those of the evaluation. Monitoring of the groundworks during the watching brief identified a probable quarry pit of late 19th or early 20th century date which had truncated the entire eastern part of the footing. Two pits of medieval date, probably dug to extract chalk and flint, were recorded in the remaining undisturbed area. |
