Abstract: |
An evaluation was carried out at a proposed gravel extraction site, which lay adjacent to an existing quarry. The edge of a possible ancient channel, perhaps a former tributary of the River Colne or a previous bank of the river itself, was observed, but this appeared to have little potential for environmental sampling. Prehistoric and Roman pottery, probable Neolithic or Bronze Age struck flints and pottery of Roman or medieval origin were found. 18th or 19th century brick and tile rubble, presumably associated with the buildings of a farm known to have lain in the vicinity, was also observed. It was noted that the majority of the ancient artefacts were found within a waterbourne deposit, and may have originated at some distance from the site. [AIP] |
