Abstract: |
An area at the rear of 127-129 High Street, Maldon was excavated ahead of development. Two occupation horizons with features were identified, the earlier being during the 13th to mid 14th centuries, the High Middle Ages, and the later one during the late 18th to 19th centuries. These were separated by a thick soil layer, when the site returned to cultivation. The bulk of the activity was in the first phase. No structures were present, and the features were mostly pits. These cluster into well defined groups in a grid pattern, so probable boundaries can be identified between the groups. The site illustrates the effects of the decline in population and the economy from the mid 14th century onwards more sharply than others in Maldon. This may be due to its relatively marginal position, half way between the market place and the port. |
