Abstract: |
As a result of an archaeological condition on the planning permission for the creation of off-road parking and associated landscaping and alteration works at Omega Cottage, Newmarket Road, Great Chesterford, Essex, The Heritage Network was commissioned by the owner to undertake an archaeological investigation of the site. The field work in involved supervision of the ground reduction and the investigation and recording of all exposed and affected archaeological features and deposits. The study area had been significantly disturbed by post-medieval activity, including a possible backfilled gravel quarry, and a large robber trench, which followed the proposed line of the Roman town wall. Nevertheless, the truncated remains of two Roman pits were identified, and a further ditch and gully which were undated. The remains of the robber trench and quarry feature were only marginally affected by the groundworks and will be preserved beneath the new drive surface. |
