Abstract: |
In October 2009, Archaeological Solutions (AS) undertook an archaeological trial trench evaluation of land at Moor Hall Farm, Rainham (NGR TQ 55008160). The evaluation was undertaken in compliance with a planning condition attached to planning permission for the construction of a golf course. The trenches within Phase 1 contained a range of features: pits, postholes, ditches, gullies and tree throws. Given the relatively large area of Phase 1 few features were revealed, and the majority were undated. Five features contained prehistoric pottery and in addition a possible cremation was excavated. The features may be interpreted as a small cluster of prehistoric features located in the eastern sector of Phase 1 (Trs. 139, 150, 151 and 155). The unaccompanied cremation in Trench 176 was an isolated feature. The features revealed in Phase 2 were generally linear (ditches and gullies). The small number of dated features were consistently medieval. The principal features were parallel Ditches F1051 and F1086 which were traced across four trenches (Trs. 451, 454, 468 and 469). In the same area of Phase 2, the southern sector, undated pits and a posthole (Tr. 453 F1025, F1027 and F1029) and dated features (Tr.454 Tree Throw F1032 and Pit F1082) were recorded. Possible habitation layers (L1127, L1128) were found in the north-western part of the site (Ph.2 Tr. 409). |
