Abstract: |
An archaeological evaluation was conducted for Barratt David Wilson Homes, as part of pre-planning, prior to a planning application by Barratt Strategic to create a new housing development in Cringleford, on the southern edge of Norwich. The current project followed from a fieldwalking and metal detector survey (undertaken in 2011). Seven trenches were machine excavated in order to target specific anomalies observed on the geophysical plot and also to sample the nature of the archaeological resource present on the proposed site. The trenches that contained evidence considered to be the most significant were located in the northern part of the proposed development area (Trenches 4, 5 and 6) Trench 5 was perhaps the most interesting and important, with evidence of possible 16th-/17th-century kiln activity present. This appeared to be for the manufacture of tile and brick. Trench 4 contained an 18th- to 20th-century cobble surface on the edge of a probable large extraction pit or pond. Trench 6 contained two undated ditches and several undated pits, which may have been smaller sand extraction pits. A small undated pit and early 20th-century bottle dump were recorded in Trench 2, two pits of recent date in Trench 3 and larger extraction pits in Trench 1. (Trench 7 was devoid of features, deposits or finds of archaeological interest. Much of the evidence recorded at the site was probably connected with activities associated with Newfound Farm and its land. |
