Knights Hill, King’s Lynn, Norfolk

Between 7th–12th February and 28th–29th March 2022 OA East carried out informative trenching work at Knights Hill, King’s Lynn, Norfolk (TF 6613 2252). This work was commissioned by Barratt/David Wilson Homes and comprised the excavation of 29 trial trenches in a 4.8ha area, which was added to the north-western side of an existing 34.6ha development site. The site – excluding the current investigation area – was subject to geophysical survey and trial trenching in 2014, which identified an area of Late Iron Age–Early Roman remains. The current trenching work was carried out in conjunction with a 3.45ha excavation by OA East of these remains.
The additional trial trenches revealed only two small pits in Trenches 4 and 23, neither of which produced any finds. The trial trenching has demonstrated that there are no archaeological remains present on this part of the development site.
