Abstract: |
In order to meet the requirements of an archaeological condition on the planning permission for a new access road at Folly Farm, Great Dunmow, Essex, the Heritage Network was commissioned by the developers to monitor the construction groundworks. Three site visits were made to inspect ground reduction along the line of the new access road. The ground was reduced by aproximately 0.2m, through the topsoil. The topsoil was not breached and no archaeology was affected by the works. All spoil generated by the works was stockpiled on site and inspected for archaeological artefacts. Ceramic artefacts including pottery and tile of late 18th century date and later were observed but not collected. This material is not uncommon and is likely to have been brought onto the site as part of the manuring process. in conclusion, the archaeological monitoring of the the development revealed no archaeological features, deposits, or artefacts. The groundworks did not breach the topsoil on the site, and thus any underlying archaeological remains were undisturbed by the development. |
