Monitoring of Works under Archaeological Supervision and Control During Garden Landscaping at North Barsham, Rectory

Monitoring of Works Under Archaeological Supervision and Control was carried out by Pre-Construct Archaeology at The Old Rectory, North Barsham, Norfolk, Pond and Amphitheater areas. Two site visits were undertaken: A visit on the 12th of June monitored the ground reduction of the Pound. The visit on the 13th of June continued with the monitoring of the reduction of the hillside on the outer side of the courtyard's western wall. The current works were preceded by a Monitoring of WUASC, and a programme of iinformative trenching. The archaeological monitoring at The Old Rectory, North Barsham, Norfolk followed two other, more substantial, projects. No archaeological features were found at this stage of the works. However, we did observe one demolition layer, possibly related to the medieval or post-medieval structure recorded previously (Pavez/Crawley, 2024). It can be stated that there are no indications of any burials associated with the church graveyard in this section of the site. This observation aligns with findings from the recent monitoring conducted on the western side of the Old Rectory house, where the boundary of the cemetery to the east of All Saints Church was accurately delineated (Pierrepoint-Davis/Crawley, 2024).
