It was good to explore the site of the former Norwich Castle earthwork defences with Club members earlier today. Walking around the Castle Mall gardens gave us a clear impression of the huge extent of the original southern bailey. During our exploration I mentioned the breadth and depth of the archaeology that came from the construction of the mall. This is illustrated by the size of the two Castle Mall reports pictured above. Today, we literally scratched the surface of this archaeology. I think we may return at some point in the future.
