Abstract: |
A programme of trial trenching was conducted by NAU Archaeology for Norfolk County Council Planning and Transportation Services ahead of proposed construction work on the Norwich Northern Distributor Route (NDR) in 2009-10. The scope of the evaluation focuses on areas of known archaeological remains, geophysical anomalies and also sample areas of unknown archaeological potential. One hundred and ten trial trenches were excavated along the corridor of the NDR with an additional 15 trenches being excavated for the Postwick Hub Link Road and 33 trenches for the Contractor's Compound Area known as Broadland Gate. Of these 158 trenches, 91 produced evidence of archaeological potential. Twenty-one of the original 150 planned trenches remain to be evaluated; work provisionally scheduled for autumn/winter 2010. Finds of Mesolithic to Early Saxon date were recovered from the route. |
