Abstract: |
Archaeological trial trench evaluation was conducted for Crown Point Estates ahead of proposed residential development at Devon Way in Trowse, Norfolk. Following geophysical survey of the proposed development site in 2012 which produced evidence of 'prior human activity', excavation of sixteen trenches was planned to target some of the features recorded. Two of the trenches (5 and 6 at the south-western corner of the site) were not excavated as used needles had been found previously in this area and (in consultation with James Albone of Norfolk Historic Environment Service) it was decided not to excavate there. Of the fourteen trenches opened, nine contained archaeological features. Three of the trenches on the eastern side of the site (Trenches 13, 15 and 16) contained post-medieval ditches. Three trenches in the centre and south of the site contained very large pit-like features (Trenches 8, 11 and 12) and Trench 7 contained several pit and ditch features of indeterminate date. At the north of the proposed development area, Trench 2 contained a large pit and small ditch. On the west side of the site Trench 4 contained a possible trackway (and tree-hole). At the start of work - during setting out the trenches - several of the canes used for marking each end of the trench were removed and scattered (presumably by children - the area has been accessible to the general public for some time prior to works starting). |
