Abstract:		 The site is located in the north of Norwich, currently occupied by light industrial units and surface car parks. The evaluated trenches measured 4.00m by 4.00m in plan and were excavated to a maximum depth (in Trench 2) of 2.24m below ground level. The current ground level in the vicinity of both trenches is c.4.0m OD. A small collection of worked flint from the evaluation was not diagnostic; some might result from medieval and later building work though it might equally indicate low level prehistoric activity on or in the vicinity of the site. Trench 1 in the south of the site recorded a feature of possible Late Saxon date. This feature was a pit or possible ditch, dated by pottery from its upper fill. Post-holes thought to be related to its use were also recorded. This feature, if a ditch, might be associated with the defences of the Late Saxon town. A robbed-out wall of post-medieval date was also present in Trench1, with modern levelling of possibly older soils making up the remainder of the archaeological sequence. Trench 2 in the north of the site contained large intercutting pits, some early examples were perhaps quarries but later pits clearly had another purpose, perhaps of an industrial nature though with no indication for what purpose here. The general impression is of a marginal area perhaps used from the Late Saxon period onwards for quarrying and industrial activity at the periphery of known settlement.
