Abstract:
An archaeological trial trench evaluation was undertaken at land to the rear of 69 High Street, Billericay, in advance of the construction of two houses and associated infrastructure. Two trenches were excavated within the footprint of the proposed new dwellings. The trenches revealed evidence of post-medieval garden management as shown on the First Edition Ordnance Survey may of 1874. Trench 1 contained several layers of made ground indicating that the ground level was raised prior to the erection of a brick-built structure. Trench 2 contained several small gullies interpreted as flower beds and two postholes cut into the base of two gullies, perhaps representing a fence line. The majority of the finds date to the post-medieval period, however a small quantity residual finds including Tudor red earthenware, a 17th century clay pipe and an ornamental roof tile dating from c.1500 onwards suggest earlier activity on the site, though no features dating to this period were revealed.
