Abstract: |
Archaeological trial trench evaluation was conducted for Norfolk County Council ahead of proposed expansion of the Postwick Park and Ride in Norfolk. Fifteen of the 20 evaluation trenches appeared to contain archaeological features. Three trenches in the eastern part of the site appear to confirm the presence of a large linear feature recorded as a cropmark running north-east to south-west; other archaeological features were also present in these trenches. Trenches in the western half of the site confirm a north-west to south-east cropmark to be a large ditch. A circular cropmark appears to be a quarry pit. The cropmark of a curved ditch was also associated with sub-surface remains and may have been associated with a length of road or track marked on Faden's map of 1797. However trenches on the western side of the site contained ditches that were not recorded as cropmark evidence. Spreads of similar silty material were observed. Four trenches, although opened, could not be archaeologically excavated due to an unfortunate combination of saturated ground (which caused trench collapse), a high water table (which created standing water) and the depth of some of trenches. Features were observed in these trenches Five of the trenches contained no archaeological evidence in the form of features or artefacts. |
