Archaeology of a Medieval Village Found Beneath New Village Development in Norfolk
Draper Gardens in the village of Gayton, west Norfolk is a new development of residential property available for shared ownership and to rent by Freebridge Community Housing. The development required the discharge of a planning condition relating to archaeology, and prior to construction, Wardell Armstrong conducted an archaeological trial-trench excavation, which demonstrated the presence of significant archaeology, followed by an open area archaeological excavation to fully record and analyse the remains.
