Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was conducted by NPS Archaeology on behalf of LSI Architects ahead of proposed development at St Martha's Catholic Primary School, Field Lane, King's Lynn. Four trial trenches, each measuring 30.00m x 1.80m, were positioned across the site. There was potential that the nearby post-medieval cemetery on Wootton Road extended into the site of St Martha's Catholic Primary School. Finds of Anglo-Saxon date have also been made in the cemetery area. However, the trial trenches revealed that the cemetery did not extend southeast into the school site. No archaeological features or deposits of any significance were discovered. A modern service trench was located in two of the trenches, which produced five fragments of post-medieval ceramic building material and a clay pipe fragment. |
