Abstract: |
The Essex County Council Field Archaeology Unit (FAU) carried out a watching brief on a topsoil strip and trench excavation, for an electricity cable installation to the east of Main Road at Broomfield, Essex. The monitored topsoil strip was c.1.8 m wide and ran for c.550m from TL 71255 09043 to TL 71254 09552, along the Chelmer Valley. Approximately 0.2m of topsoil was removed from above the mixed sand, and gravel and silty clay subsoil. A c. 1m wide trench was then dug to a depth of c. 1m within the stripped easement. The strip and trenching revealed no visible archaeological features or artefacts, earlier than those relating to modern disturbance of the agricultural landscape. No evidence of activity associated with the known Saxon burial behind Clobb''s Row (EHER 5546) was identified. |
