Abstract: |
An evaluation was carried out at the proposed site of a retail outlet, which was located within an archaeologically sensitive area of Romano-British and post-medieval activity, and was thought to have lain close to the possible junction of two Roman roads, at least one of which appeared to have crossed the site. The evaluation trenches revealed no archaeological features of any great antiquity. Two sherds of residual Saxon pottery were recovered from what appeared to have been either an old riverbed or a pond associated with the nearby River Crouch. No definite traces of Roman metalling were observed. However, it was concluded that some weight should still be given to reports from the 1960s that a Roman surface encountered nearby had crossed the site somewhere in the very north-east corner.
